Suffern debuts new

information kiosk and website

By Philip Umbrino

 

On Wednesday morning, June 25th, the Suffern Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Suffern and The Suffern Parking Authority hosted a special dedication of a new permanent kiosk on the corner of Lafayette and Chestnut Street, and the launch of a new Website: www.sufferndowntown.com.

 

Suffern shops Crumbs Bakery and Georgie Porgie's provided refreshments to the small but enthusiastic crowd gathered.

   The kiosk is a gift to the village downtown from the previous Chamber leadership team, which includes four back-lit (lighted) 26” x 32” panels in which two are available for advertising rotation by Suffern Chamber members, and two panels will be used ongoing to promote Chamber and Suffern Village events.

   The new sufferndowntown.com web site was created and paid for the Suffern Parking Authority. The informational site is interactive and serves as the portal to promote Suffern downtown, which features a full list of shops and restaurants that both locals and tourists can discover. The site also has a collection of points of interest that anyone looking for an experience outside of the Palisades Mall or New York can check out, and a fully functional map feature allowing directions to anywhere visitors to the site wish to look at closer. Finally, a small history section highlights the beginnings of Suffern village and its historical importance.

   Of particular interest on the new sufferndowntown.com website is the Virginia Menscher Gazebo Summer Concert Series, which has six more performances scheduled through August. Those performing include Kurt Gallagher, with a children’s concert, and Reflections, a big band style concert.

   Anyone looking to advertise their downtown area Suffern business can contact the Suffer Chamber of Commerce at www.suffernchamberofcommerce.org.
