Information & Town News

The Town of Clifton Park is proud to announce the launch of its new official website: www.CliftonParkNY.gov. This transition from the previous domain, CliftonPark.org, marks a significant step in enhancing transparency, security, and accessibility for residents and visitors. 

The move to a .gov domain aligns with new requirements adopted by New York State in 2025, mandating that municipalities with populations over 1,500 maintain an official website using a .gov domain. These changes are part of a broader statewide initiative to improve public trust and ensure that government websites are easily identifiable and secure. 

“We’re excited to offer a more secure and user-friendly online experience for our community,” said Philip Barrett, Town Supervisor. “The new website not only meets state requirements but also reflects our ongoing commitment to open government and digital accessibility.” 

Key Features of the New Website: 

• Only verified U.S. government entities can register a .gov domain. 

• Reduces the risk of phishing and spoofing. 

• Meets New York’s State 2025 .gov Web Domain Mandate.  

• Search engines often rank .gov domains higher due to their authority and trustworthiness. 

Residents are encouraged to visit the new site and update any bookmarks or saved links. The previous domain, CliftonPark.org, will redirect users to the new site during the transition period.
