A Message From Mayor Steve Noble:
Dear Friends,
Our Covid numbers continue to go in the right direction. As a City, county and nation, we are collectively working to meet President Biden’s goal of having 70% of our population vaccinated before July 4. If you haven't been vaccinated, please see a list below of convenient locations and pop ups.
I also want to mention again that any Kingston residents who have had issues paying rent, can now take advantage of the state’s new Emergency Rental Assistance program. The program is designed to help anyone in arrears on rent due to the pandemic, and to prevent evictions.
I have confidence if we keep working together, we will continue to recover and will soon be thriving as a community.
-Steve
