Hudson Valley

Impact PR & Communications signs on to provide strategic communications and support for Hudson Valley Connected, a regional initiative expanding free technology assistance and digital literacy resources throughout New York State’s Hudson Valley. Impact PR will develop and implement a comprehensive public awareness campaign designed to increase visibility, community engagement and utilization of these free services. It will also work to help the initiative expand its Digital Navigators of the Hudson Valley program, originally launched in 2022, across Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties. The project is funded through a $500,000 grant awarded by Empire State Development’s ConnectALL Office to the Westchester Library System, the lead financial partner and grant administrator for Hudson Valley Connected. “Thanks to this grant, and the resources of Impact PR & Communications, who have deep nonprofit expertise and roots in the communities we’re serving, we can have an even bigger impact and grow this program for the long-term,” said Carolyn Bennett Glauda, Digital Navigator ambassador for Hudson Valley Connected.
