The Mark Project

Well it’s been a while, the last time we did a makeover of Mark it was during the last big flood and their site was down so we took it over and helped them get the word out. So fast forward 8 years or so and now they have a new site! It’s a fresh re-do that is mobile/responsive and a lot more up-to-date. Thanks and good luck Mark!

As we enter our 40th year , MARK continues to provide economic development, housing, community revitalization and technical assistance programs to the region. We serve the Towns of Andes, Bovina, Middletown, Roxbury and Shandaken as well as the Villages of Fleischmanns and Margaretville.

The MARK Project Inc. is a 501-c-3 not-for-profit, tax-exempt rural development company that unites efforts and secures resources to build and revitalize our communities. Contributions to the MARK Project are deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

New Site for MARK Project Launched!

CMS is proud to launch a new website for MARK Project in Arkville, NY.

For 30 years, MARK has provided housing programs, economic development and technical assistance services to the Towns of Andes, Middletown and Roxbury and the Villages of Fleischmanns and Margaretville.

They work on economic development efforts in the areas of outdoor recreation and tourism, arts and culture, agriculture and forest products and alternative health and healing and on the business and social activities that support and sustain our communities. The goal is to improve the lives of those who live and work here, to create an attractive destination for those who visit. They work to build the capacity of individuals, organizations, businesses and municipalities and provide resources that help them achieve their own pre-determined goals.

The MARK Project Inc. is a 501-c-3 not-for-profit, tax-exempt rural development company that unites efforts and secures resources to build and revitalize our communities. Contributions to the MARK Project are deductible to the full extent allowed by law. They are currently accepting donations for Flood Relief and Recovery and you may help there effort by visiting this page on the new site.

After the devastating flooding in the area, it was quickly realized the the MARK Project website needed to be an efficient and fluid vehicle to  get important information out to the public fast and the site had to be effortless for the MARK Staff to update and maintain on the fly without stress or worry. MARK reached out to us and asked us if we could help and we were honored and excited to jump in and do so!

The new site is intended to provide a professional and down-to-business persona for this critically important organization. The projects and funding they accomplish every day is so vital to our communities and we, and MARK Project, wanted to convey this through the new site. With so much existing content, this project was an absolute joy as we were able to really sort and display all types of information in an organized, clean, and easy-to-use  interface.

We hope that this new site becomes the hub of information for our area and enables the MARK Project to concentrate on what they do best and leave any worries about the website behind.

Historical Society of Middletown Launched!

Happy Launch Day Historical Society of Middletown!

We at CMS are happy to announce the completion of the project. The President of the Historical Society, Diane Galusha, worked very hard to gather all the content and wonderful photos that make this website very informative for residents and visitors alike. If you are history buffs like we are, you will love this site. The rich and vibrant history of Middletown tells such a wonderful story-a story many may not know.

HSM board member Joanie Merwin designed the site with Diane and we put it all together.

HSM is holding their Annual Meeting and Luncheon today, October 23rd, followed by “Songs America Voted By: Campaign Songs of the 19th-Century,” a musical program by Linda Russell. All of this is at LaCabana Restaurant, Main St., Fleischmanns. Program (1:30 p.m.) is free and open to the public, made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Legislature, and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
