About

Michael Murray

I love helping local businesses share their stories so they get seen and remembered.

Hi! I’m Michael Murray, and I’m the founder, developer, and manager of the Adirondack Community Resource Network (or ACRN for short - sounds like ay•korn).

ACRN is all about promoting local businesses and organizations by building connections from Plattsburgh, NY, to south of Albany, NY, and every town in between.

Through our popular Interview video series, I get to spotlight entrepreneurs and organizations, sharing their stories on the ACRN website and across social media so they can reach beyond their immediate networks.

My passion is helping communities thrive by blending technology and storytelling to create opportunities for growth, recognition, and connection.

Interview with ACRN founder, Michael Murray

On the local radio show, I'm in with the ARCC, Amanda Blanton interviews Michael Murray, founder of the Adirondack Community Resource Network, also known as ACRN. Michael shares his journey of creating ACRN, emphasizing its local focus and community-driven nature. He discusses how ACRN enhances networking through video interviews and fosters face-to-face connections among members. The platform is designed to support local businesses without relying on advertising or sponsorships, and Michael expresses pride in building a resource that benefits the community. He also hints at future expansion plans for ACRN.
