ABCD Corp. along with the I Love Altoona Committee recently re-launched the new and improved website, www.ILoveAltoona.com
Originally created by Matt and Christina Garber, ILoveAltoona.com has become a significant communication venue for the Altoona area. It’s more than just basic information on Altoona, it’s about exploring, enjoying, and sharing the community we call home. “We are excited to see the evolution of the site and the new energy and focus of what began many years ago,” said Matt Garber.
The redesign and re-launch of the site has been a team effort of the I Love Altoona Committee comprised of Matt & Christina Garber, The Central PA Community Foundation, the Greater Altoona Economic Development Corp. (GAEDC), ABCD Corp., Penn State Altoona and Nova 6. “There is a pride and positive energy coming out of the Center City of Altoona and we wanted to create an online presence to assist the businesses and residents of the Altoona region realize all that is occurring,” commented John Horell, board member of the PSU-Altoona Entrepreneurial Center.
The website, redesigned by Nova 6 located in Altoona’s Center City, features a number of ways to Discover, Enjoy and Give Back in Altoona. The site includes a robust calendar of events featuring several categories that all fit the committee’s criteria of “Would we take our families to this event.” In addition there is a section of Things to Do, a Directory of local Businesses, Photos, History and much more. Along with the website re-launch is a social media component to incorporate interactions through the site itself, Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.
“Our hope is that ILoveAltoona.com becomes a true resource for everyone in the region to use and to visit frequently,” said Lori Rupert of Nova 6.
