Woodbridge Creates App To Help Users Find Local Information

Want to know about community events in Woodbridge?

Need to find parking or searching for information about local business?

Woodbridge Township has created the Buy Local App to give residents information about those topics and more.

Township officials on Wednesday announced the Woodbridge “Buy Local App,” a free app that features a business directory, information about local events, and TV-35 videos.

It also offers news feeds from area news agencies, provides users with the ability to find nearby parking, and links to websites including the township, school district and community center.

Mayor John E. McCormac told myCentralJersey.com that the almost $6,000 cost to create the app was paid for by the Woodbridge Economic Development Corp., and no tax money was used.

Here’s the list from the township of the app’s services:
