A new website aimed at being the "go to resource for discovering the vibrant businesses nestled within our community amidst the backdrop of the US 231 construction project" is now up and running.

Greencastle is Open is the website and was formed through a partnership among the City of Greencastle, the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, West Central ISBDC, Main Street Greencastle, the Tenzer Hub for Entrepreneurship and Greencastle/Putnam County Economic Development.

The website features construction updates, as well as a spotlight on local businesses, where to park and how to navigate downtown Greencastle. According to Putnam County Chamber of Commerce executive director Madison Hanna, the website "aims to bridge the gap" created by construction and challenges residents and visitors may face, as well as pushing people to downtown businesses.

"Our goal is to boost their online presence, provide assistance to storefronts affected by construction and encourage the community to shop locally," Hanna told The Putnam County Post.
