Happy New Year! Tell Us What You Want from Patch in 2012

Troy Patch is your site.

That means we want to cover what you think is important. Is it government? Schools? Sports? Religion? Businesses?

You tell us.

I took over as editor of Troy Patch a month ago tomorrow, and while I think I have a pretty good idea of what the community wants covered, I want to hear it from you. We're starting fresh in the new year, but Patch needs your help.

We want Troy Patch to be the go-to site for information about Troy – from Troy City Council coverage and police news to where you can find the best mechanics, nail salons, gyros and pet groomers in town. To make that happen, we need your input.

Leave a comment below to let us know how we're doing and what kind of coverage you'd like to see on Troy Patch in the future. Together we can make this site the place to go for everything Troy. 

How you can contribute

Part of what makes Patch different from other news sources is our readers. You don't just read the stories we publish – you comment on them, share your thoughts, share the story and become a part of the conversation.

We also want you to on our events calendar, whenever you have something you want to share with the community (like an engagement, graduation, new baby, milestone birthday, etc.) and give us feedback. This is your site, Troy.

And if you want to share your opinion, we're always looking for bloggers. To learn more about blogging on Patch, .

We can't wait to hear what you have to say. Happy New Year, Troy!
