MaltaWorks.org Website Promotes Malta's Economic Development Potential

Malta, New York - Today, the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Malta announced a dynamic new website to feature all the great things about the Town of Malta.  This new web presence is targeted toward promoting the good things happening in Malta, while also serving as an economic development conduit for businesses considering investing in the Town.
 
The new site – www.MaltaWorks.org – is an outgrowth of the work of the Town’s Economic Development Committee (EDC).  The Malta EDC last year launched the Malta Works promotional campaign to promote existing businesses in Town and encourage investment from new businesses.  This website is the next step in that project, providing a one-stop portal for anyone considering doing business in Malta.
 
Malta Supervisor Darren O’Connor said, “This new website is a great next step for our Malta Works campaign to show the world that Malta is a great place to do business.  Our entire Town government has worked tirelessly for several years to improve the business climate, while keeping our small town charm. This website is a great window into that effort and I hope businesses and investors find that for whatever their need, Malta Works!”
 
Building within the framework of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce’s existing site, the Malta Works presence will benefit from the hundreds of thousands of unique views the Chamber website enjoys annually, boosting awareness of all the Town has to offer.  The site will be administered and maintained by Saratoga County Chamber staff at no cost to the Town.
 
Saratoga County Chamber President Todd Shimkus said, “In just the last two weeks, we’ve done three ribbon cuttings celebrating small business investments in the Town of Malta. We’ve also seen exciting new investments being made at GLOBALFOUNDRIES Fab 8 as well as at the Hudson Valley Community College’s TecSmart Facility and in the Luther Forest Tech Park by Scannell Properties. This website is our chance to showcase all of these investments in the future as well as to promote the hundreds of small businesses who call the Town of Malta home.”
 
The new site features a custom video about Malta produced by the Saratoga County Chamber, as well as an exciting video giving an insider’s view of the technology that goes into the operations of GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 in Malta, currently home to 3000 employees.  This site partners with the EDC’s ongoing #MaltaWorks social media campaign, which regularly shines a light on good things happening in Malta.
 
Malta Councilman and EDC Chair Timothy Dunn said, “The Town, the EDC, and the Chamber have been working together for months on this new platform, and while slowed by the pandemic, we’re excited to roll out this new tool.  This site will evolve in time and will constantly improve to make sure we are showing the right content that helps investors keep making Malta a great place to live and work.”
 
Features of the site include a recent timeline of development, direct links to important Town resources (such as building permit and sign code information), recent ribbon cuttings, and an exhaustive business directory.  The site will continue to add more photos, videos, and content from Malta businesses over time as momentum continues for growth and investment.
