Lowville- Yesterday marked the end of our second month since the official hard launch of our website and Facebook Page on June 8th. Some of you have been with us from the beginning earlier this year, but we have acquired many new users over the past few months. We wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone for all the support and positive feedback. In a short time we have become a go-to source for news and information in Lewis County! The following are some answers to a few common questions about our website.
A: We receive press releases from many local sources, including: NY State Police, Lewis County Sheriff's Department, Lowville Police Department, Lewis County Fire Officials, Lewis County Board of Legislators, Lewis County Public Health, and many other county officials.
