A crowd braved the cold weather and came out for a relaxed and fun-filled event

to reveal the new ICDC Website. ICDC Executive Director Vaunita Martin and

Sarah Pittman, MSU Ext. Office Technology Project Manager, presented the

website. The new website is modern, easy to navigate, and attractive. This site

promises to provide useful information to tourists, businesses, and locals.

Prominent features include Made in Itawamba, which promotes products

manufactured in Itawamba County, Visit Itawamba, created to attract tourists to

shops, eateries, and attractions, and Economic Development, which provides vital

information and statistics for starting or locating a business in Itawamba County.

The presenters offered a special thanks to Bob Franks of the Itawamba Historical

Society, who provided pictures featured throughout the site. “It’s been a group

effort, filled with long nights, weekends, and holidays to make the site a reality.

Most websites take at least six months to develop, but we were determined to

provide a quality product in a short time frame to continue recruitment efforts for

Itawamba County. We are putting our best foot forward”, says Vaunita Martin.
