Barton County has a new face to the world.Like a bunch of proud new parents showing off a new baby, county officials unveiled the county’s extensively redesigned website to the County Commission Monday morning. It makes information, documents, forms and links easily accessible to local residents as well as folks eying the region for economic development potential.“I’m proud to be from Barton County, but that pride was not reflected in our old site,” said Commissioner Jennifer Schartz, a long-time proponent of the effort. “This is something we’ve needed for a long time.”Earlier this year, the commission approved contracting with Simplified Online Communications System, Lincoln , Neb.,-based a non-profit website developer, to making improvements to the county’s website, www.bartoncounty.org.
