PotomacLocal.com welcomes several new and returning advertisers in July.
We’ll take a moment and recognize each of the new businesses and organizations that support this local news organization, and ensure you get local news about news and events where you live.
John Jewell and the team at JTC, Inc. have been the Chamber’s IT services provider since 2009.
Each month, for the last six years, they have provided a number of in-kind service hours to keep the Chamber staff’s office technology up and running, including regular back-ups. Anyone who has been to a meeting in the Chamber offices has also benefited from JTC’s provision of free WiFi access.
There’s new technology out there that will help you understand what’s going on with your car.
The technology, created by Caarmo, is a diagnostic device that will let drivers know if there is something wrong with their vehicle. It also sends the diagnostic information to a certified auto technician.
HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire and other area businesses were given an award for their involvement and continued support of the Boy Scouts.
The award was part of the Boy Scout’s 2015 Community Friends for Scouting campaign, which raises money for Boy Scout programs throughout the year.
The site first began as a side project of Fairfax resident Chris LeCompte. With numerous news sites dotted throughout the area, LeCompte found it challenging to quickly access geographically organized news content. NoVA Scanner solves this problem by placing Northern Virginia news on a single page. LeCompte also curates the content, filtering out as many non-news items as possible.
“My goal was to provide a hub for Northern Virginia news,” LeCompte said. “More importantly, I wanted to create a site that’s easy to access for people who don’t have the time to check dozens of local sources independently.”
