Jim Thorpe Borough has unveiled redesigned websites for both the borough government and the Asa Packer Mansion Museum. The updates, borough officials said, are intended to improve access to information and services for residents and visitors alike.

The two sites — jtborough.org and asapackermansion.com — went live recently, each built by a different Pennsylvania-based firm and each serving a distinct purpose for the community.

The borough’s new government website was developed by CourseVector of Camp Hill. Council President Connor Rodgers said the site is designed to give residents a single destination for department information, forms, applications, meeting materials, public notices and online services.

“This redesign makes it simpler for residents to find what they need without having to search in multiple places or make phone calls for basic information,” Rodgers said.

The borough said it plans to continue adding information and making enhancements to the site and is encouraging residents to explore it and submit feedback on features or content that could improve their experience.

Jim Thorpe resident Ryan Kubishin donated his time and skills, Rodgers said, to supply photographs and drone video footage featured throughout the site.

“His work helped showcase Jim Thorpe, our facilities, and our community in a way that would not otherwise have been possible,” Rodgers said.

The Asa Packer Mansion Museum’s new website was built by NEPA Business Technologies of Stroudsburg. Rodgers said the site is intended to serve as a central resource for prospective visitors, covering tours, admission, upcoming events, memberships and background on the Packer family and the mansion’s history.

The mansion has been operated by the borough since 2024. Rodgers said the new website is part of the borough’s continuing effort to preserve and promote the historic site.

“The borough continues to preserve and showcase this important historic site,” Rodgers said. “The new website is another part of that effort and will help visitors learn more about this historical asset and better plan their experience at the Mansion.”
