(Harrisburg, PA) The administration of Governor Josh Shapiro announced the completion of the new edition of the website pa.gov on Thursday. This new website is the combination of sixty-four websites from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Over a thousand services from the Commonwealth can be accessed from one search tool after the process began to create this website on May 29th, 2024. In addition, First Lady Lori Shapiro held sessions for focus groups called “Lori Listens” to ask Pennsylvanians about what can be improved and the services they need on the website. The website was viewed more than seventy-two million times and was accessed close to nine million times in December of 2024.
