REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: BROOME-TIOGA STORMWATER COALITION AND WATER FROM RAIN UPDATED WEBSITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Published on: Wednesday February 7th, 2024

Project Overview
Southern Tier 8 Regional Board manages the Broome-Tioga Stormwater Coalition and is seeking to update and host two associated websites.
The educational campaign-focused website, Waterfromrain.org, is the Coalition’s outreach and educational website for public engagement. The current website is unable to be edited and updated. ST8 is seeking assistance with transitioning the current content to a website that is editable and maintainable by ST8 staff.
The Broome-Tioga Stormwater Coalition website, broometiogastormwater.com, is the website that is used by Stormwater Coalition municipalities. The current website is hosted by Broome County. ST8 is seeking assistance with moving the content on the current website to a new website that can be editable and maintainable by ST8 staff. Along with moving over current content, ST8 would like to add additional pages and resources for the Coalition.
