West Shokan
West Shokan is a Catskills hamlet in the Ulster County town of Olive on the upper Ashokan Reservoir, a community near the high-peaks trailheads with residential neighborhoods, farms, and a base of contractors and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the West Shokan area's contractors, farms, and service businesses, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania (across the state) remote-first, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
