What Is Patch?

The 101 on hyperlocal, explained via video.

Scotts Valley is the type of town where family and community means everything. Residents loyally frequent the same small businesses and get to know each other on the soccer and Little League fields.

And community is what Scotts Valley Patch, which launched almost 11 months ago, is all about. Some residents check the site daily. Others are still learning what Patch is. This short video gives you a little sense of the Patch vision on a national scale, and what it can mean here in Scotts Valley.
