Summit Hill could have a new website in the coming months.

On Tuesday, borough secretary Kira Steber said she spoke with a representative of na studios, Northampton, who wants to bid on web design services. There would only be an upfront cost.

“They will redesign it and turn everything over to the borough,” she said, adding that she would be able to do various updates.

The present website was designed by borough resident Robert O’Gurek. Steber said O’Gurek is fine with having another firm update the internet page.

No action was taken on the matter. Council agreed to get more information and to discuss it at a future meeting.
