The third goal is increased website development in the Five Small Towns. A team of students will work with business owners to develop websites to promote their product. Presently 13 have signed on to have websites developed. Each of the five small towns will develop a city website, which can provide a link to businesses, a calendar, and basic information regarding their community. A partnership was formed with Northwest Regional Development Commission to work in the development of the city websites which will additionally provide a regional link. |
