Allegany County Launches First Web Gateway

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Feb. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Allegany County launched a new web gateway today designed to serve as an easy and attractive online entry point to the many opportunities available to county residents, potential visitors and businesses.

The site, www.alleganycountyny.com, was the result of a year-long project directed by the Allegany County Comprehensive Plan Implementation Group chaired by Edward Eicher of Wellsville, with support from the Allegany County Offices of Development and Planning.

After assessing numerous websites the committee agreed Allegany County needed an appealing and up to date “Gateway” web presence.  The end product will prove to be a very positive first impression for visitors to discover the county and all it has to offer.

“This first-ever gateway is an excellent way for everyone – our youth, residents, tourists and business partners – to obtain information about the many advantages of living, working and playing in Allegany County,” said Curtis W. Crandall, chairman of the Allegany County Board of Legislators.

Through the web gateway, online visitors can easily access the current websites for Allegany County government and tourism, while also seeing up-to-date county business news, special information of interest to residents, and answers to the most asked questions, such as applying for a driver’s license and registering to vote. In addition, visitors can quickly access many county documents, including a directory of all public officials, the 2014 county budget and past election results.

“The web gateway is a very important step in today’s high tech society for Allegany County to achieve our goal of best promoting the county image and reputation as part of the 2013-23 County Comprehensive Plan,” Eicher said.
