HRA has partnered with the University of West Florida on NextExitHistory™, a website and mobile-media program supported by iPhone and Android applications that identifies and displays site-specific information about historic locations and events. Each identified site is geotagged by longitude and latitude using Google Maps. NextExitHistory™ offers a dynamic way to showcase local history and to encourage heritage tourism. Each NextExitHistory™ “site” can display multiple photos (current and historic), audio, video and graphics. Sites can be aggregated geographically or thematically into “backpacks” that can be accessed at the site, or downloaded before visiting the historic location. And, best of all, the NextExitHistory™ application can be downloaded for free. To learn about our pilot project in downtown Missoula, Montana, check out this story in the Missoulian. You can also download the app here.

A number of HRA staff hit milestones in their company service in 2012. Keith Zahniser, James Grant, Joshua Pollarine, Michael Faulkner, Dawn Vogel, and Jennifer Olander all had their five-year anniversaries. Emily Greenwald and Pamela Cobb reached the ten-year mark. They have a long way to go to catch up with Daniel Gallacher, Weber Greiser, and Karen Espeseth, who have each been with HRA for more than thirty years.
