NEW WEBSITE FOR ROCKVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GROUP


Rockville, MD (June 30, 2004)—Rockville Economic Development, Inc. (REDI) has launched a newly designed Web site, www.RockvilleREDI.org, to market Rockville as a destination for new and relocating businesses and to promote the city’s quality of life.

Formerly known as Greater Rockville Partnership, the organization redesigned its Web site as part of a broader effort to publicize its new name and promote REDI as a resource for people and businesses considering a move to or expansion in Rockville.

“We are extremely excited about the new look and feel of the Web site. The complete redesign of the site is a reflection of the energy and excitement in Rockville today as well as our renewed commitment to strengthening and broadening the city’s economic base” said Daniel Hurtado, Marketing Manager for REDI.

Designed by Aspen Creative, a division of Rockville-based Aspen Systems Corporation, the Web site includes the latest statistics and demographic information on Rockville and Montgomery County. Business owners and entrepreneurs will also find an overview of tax incentive and workforce development programs available through the State, County and City governments for new, expanding, minority-owned and women-owned companies.

The Web site also includes a retail listing of businesses located within the city’s central business district, an overview of major local development projects, a summary of services provided through REDI, as well as an overview of Rockville and the surrounding region.

“The new Web site will support our efforts in developing new business and stimulating economic growth for Rockville, helping new businesses find a home and take root, and promoting and assisting those companies that have long been established here,” said Sally Sternbach, Executive Director for REDI.

Along with a new name and a new web address, the economic development agency will also change its street address later this summer. The organization, currently located at 401 N. Washington Street, will move to its new office space at 95 Monroe Street near the Regal Cinema.
