Effective engagement practice

Local news that highlights and profiles business owners and government workers including Police, Fire and business owners.

Looking to inform the borough's residents of the (government) men and women who work behind the scenes that make the town "work."

Revenue challenges

Getting advertisers to purchase ads when I still have a relatively small readership.
