 RESIDENT RECOUNTS BEING CHOSEN IN ENERGY SQUARE LOTTERY

In January 2020, I became Lucky 3, also the beneficiary of the RUPCO lottery, and would like to offer some additional perspectives about my “hometown,” having been a longtime resident of Kingston who was able to return here after helping my family for a few years in another county. Read more from the editorial response to 'Lucky 27' article about RUPCO's Energy Square.

 

FREE COVID-19 AT HOME TESTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

Good news! Each household in the U.S. can now have four free COVID-19 at-home tests shipped directly to their home at no cost! 

The tests are rapid antigen "at-home" or "self" tests — not PCR tests which require a lab drop-off. The "at-home" or "self" tests can be taken anywhere and give results within 30 minutes.
