Gillett News is an Online News Service founded in late 2018 and based in Gillett, Wisconsin.
The Founding of Gillett News
In August 2018 the Gillett Community Team and KOR Business Solutions began the development of the Gillett News website and related services. On September 2, 2018 they released, in a limited capacity, the site to the Gillett Community for testing and public input under the domain www.gillettcommunity.com/news/
Surpassing All Expectations
The reception of Gillett News far surpassed even the most hopeful of expectations. In less than 12 days the site had more than 1,500 Unique Visitors. Over the next month community interest and support only increased and by the end of the month the site hosted more 3,000 Unique Visitors.
What to Do?
A fact that many may not know is that all of the recent Digital Advertising & Resources that have been developed in the last year for the Gillett Community, including Gillett News, have been privately funded by the Gillett Community Team and KOR Business Solutions.
The Gillett Community Team’s goal has always been to develop cost free resources for the Gillett Community but the Team feared that getting involved with founding an “official company” where they would have to hire employees and take on many other financial responsibilities would risk compromising the integrity of their core values.
The Decision
On September 24, 2018 the Team decided that further development of Gillett News was better left in the hands of KOR Business Solutions. Shortly after the decision was made KOR Business Solutions proceeded testing and developing the site which will continue through the end of the 2018.
The official launch of Gillett News is scheduled for January 2019.
