Vandergrift officials are hopeful they will fix ongoing website woes.
The borough hasn’t offered
a functioning website for the public since February.
Visitors to the site encounter an oversized message stating the site is no longer being updated or maintained.
“We’re hoping we can move forward on getting this website open and operating,” council president Kathy Chvala said during Monday’s virtual meeting.
Jim Rice of New Kensington will submit a bid on reinstating the site.
Rice, 71, owns ASDM Networking. He has worked for the borough since the 1980s maintaining some of its computer systems.
He said he read about the borough’s website situation in a Tribune-Review story.

Vandergrift’s online council meeting went silent for several minutes Monday night after discussion involving some council members grew heated, drawing criticism from some residents.
The audio function on the Zoom broadcast was muted for several minutes after the council discussion became heated around 8:30 p.m. A few residents attending the virtual meeting accused Councilman John Uskuraitis of muting the discussion.
An unidentified man asked Uskuraitis to restore audio immediately, stating that council meetings are public and muting isn’t allowed.
