Hancock, NY — Two years after its launch, the Hancock NY App has proven to be a groundbreaking success, transforming how residents, businesses, and visitors stay connected with the Town of Hancock.
Developed under the leadership of Town Supervisor Jerry Vernold, the app has logged thousands of page views and downloads since its debut, becoming a trusted digital tool for delivering timely updates and essential community information.
From road closures, and seasonal weather alerts to Town Board meeting dates, permits, and a full calendar of community events, the app provides an easy-to-navigate hub of local resources. Families can even save events directly to their phone calendars—making it easier than ever to keep track of Hancock’s popular summer concert series, festivals, and other town-wide happenings.
The app has also enhanced emergency preparedness by offering push notifications for urgent reminders and alerts, ensuring residents never miss critical updates.
“Two years ago, we set out to modernize how Hancock connects with its people,” said Town Supervisor Jerry Vernold. “Today, I’m proud to say the Hancock NY App has done exactly that. With thousands of page views and downloads, we’re reaching more residents, families, and even visitors across the region than ever before. This is about transparency, accessibility, and making sure our community always has the information it needs, right at its fingertips.”
The initiative is the result of a collaborative investment by the Town of Hancock, Hancock Partners, and the Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce. Together, they also funded the creation of the new websites for each organization, designed to complement the app and make online access and updates even more seamless.
Residents can download the app for Apple and Android devices via links in the footer of the new websites or by scanning the QR codes featured in community flyers and outreach materials.
As Hancock continues to grow and evolve, the app ensures the town remains connected, informed, and engaged—a testament to forward-thinking leadership and strong community partnerships.
