GREENBURGH TOWN BOARD HIRES FIRM TO REDESIGN WEBSITE --ARE YOU HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING INFO
Release Date: September 21, 2018

Have you ever taken a look at the Greenburgh website  www.greenburghny.com?

Have you had difficulty finding information that you are looking for?

If you have been frustrated because you can't locate a document or information that is important to you - you are not alone.

And, the Greenburgh Town Board is doing something about it.

 

In recent months  our Technology Committee, made up of citizens, has been reviewing our website with town staff. They determined that our website (which was one of the first local government websites--15 years old) is out dated and not as good as other communities.  The committee and town sent out a request for proposals. 13 companies submitted bids and the committee spent part of the summer months interviewing the finalists. At our last Town Board meeting they selected Civic Plus to design a new town website.

 

If you have any suggestions please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com. What don't you like?  If you lived in another community before moving to Greenburgh was their website better?   

 

We want to provide you with information you need about your town government and want to make it easy for you to obtain it. A local governments website provides potential homeowners with the first impression of the community. 

The resolution we approved is below.
