We have been keenly aware of how outdated our website is. But sometimes procrastination pays off. Now there is a plethora of affordable do-it-yourself website design services out there, making it relatively easy to give our website a complete makeover.
To top it off, in 2014 New York City was given the approval to use .nyc for residents and businesses located in NYC.
2015 will be a transition year in other ways. We are launching the NYC Urban Soils Institute full steam ahead. Look for up-to-date information on the "What's New" page of our website.
Here is wishing everyone a peaceful and joyous new year!
