It's Almost Here: East Haven Patch Hits Refresh

In a few days, we'll unveil a new look for Patch that helps you live better in East Haven.

About two years ago, we launched East Haven Patch with a pretty bold mission in mind: To make your life ridiculously easy.

That meant covering the biggest stories in town — from the recent impact of Hurricane Sandy to the federal investigation into the East Haven Police Department to the opening of the new Hobby Lobby — while also helping you share even the smallest feats of neighbors helping neighbors or communicate with your customers.

At every turn we thought of new and better ways to deliver on our promise, which is why we’re so excited to premiere an improved East Haven Patch in just a few days.

With the new refresh you’ll be able to:

  • Personalize East Haven Patch by following groups. A few clicks makes your local news feed custom-fit to the topics you care about. Police blotter and shelter pets? Taxes and restaurant reviews? Why not?
  • Better organize your day by creating groups of your own. Use Patch to plan a rec sports league or school fundraiser. Everyone can finally be on the same page—literally.  
  • Experience a better mobile Patch. We know you live on your smartphone—so we put everything you love about Patch in a smaller, more portable package.
  • Share comments and photos more intuitively and much, much faster. 
  • Turn any blog or opinion piece into a mini-community of interest, complete with followers of your very own.
