'Virtual Town Hall:'Township to Unveil New Website

 A new website will have up-to-the-minute updates about municipal news and alerts, as well as more information about township-sponsored events, the mayor's office announced on Thursday.

The overhauled website, which launches on March 14, will also have bios and contact information for township officials. Each municipal department will have its own page, according to a press release from the office of Mayor James Barberio. It will have the same url as the present site, www.parsippany.net. 

“We are moving Parsippany’s local government into the Web 2.0 world with the launch of this new interactive, state-of-the-art virtual town hall,”  Barberio stated in the press release. “The site will help us provide a more transparent, customer-service oriented online presence that will enable our residents to connect with their government, conduct business, and follow what’s going on in their community with the click of a mouse.”

The site, designed by AlphaDog Solutions Inc. will also feature an online community photo gallery where residents can view and even purchase photos from town events. A monthly community calendar will also be posted, along with township agendas, minutes and forms.
