We are building a local news website that is 100% focused on the town and people of Aurora.
From municipal government decisions to school updates, public safety information to business developments and features on local newsmakers and events in our community, AuroraToday aims to be your go-to source for local news.
At AuroraToday, we strive to strengthen our community by connecting you to reliable, timely and accurate information about the issues, people and businesses that matter most to Aurora. We believe that local news and information should be free and accessible to all, as it plays an integral role in a healthy community.
AuroraToday is part of Village Media’s growing network of online news sites, dedicated to providing local stories written by journalists who live and work in those communities. We are proud champions of local news and work diligently to deliver the news needed to help individuals stay engaged and informed.
Over the next few weeks, we will be hiring, establishing partnerships with local businesses and making a news site to keep you informed about our town. If you have any questions or want to be more involved, let us know at [email protected].
While you are here, be sure to sign up for The Local - our free local headlines newsletter - and be the first to know when we launch.
