We’re delighted to announce that Rockville Central now accepts advertising.
For years, we have not done so, preferring to grow the site as a volunteer effort. In the last few months, we have come to realize that it is time to take the “next step” and grow. Running advertisements will make it easier for us to create a sustainable site, and also to highlight all the local businesses and organizations that are a part of our Rockville civic fabric.
We’ve developed a page that gives you all the details you need right here.
But here are a few of the highlights:
