Oldtown
Oldtown is a town in Bonner County, Idaho on the Washington state line, twinned with Newport, Washington across the border in the western Panhandle, a timber-and-trade community at the gateway between the two states. Its life runs on timber and forest products, cross-border retail and trade, trades and small manufacturing, and the businesses serving the Newport-Oldtown area. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Oldtown area's timber, retail, and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
