This week on KentNow, we’re covering everything from the TikTok ban that barely lasted a day to egg prices that have us all questioning our breakfast choices. Plus, it’s cold out—really cold—so we’re talking winter driving tips, and why you should never drive with an iced-up windshield.
On the city front, Mayor Ralph and the Council have outlined Kent’s 2025 legislative priorities, and a major settlement with Phoenix Court Apartments aims to improve safety for residents. Also, Kent Parks is hiring lifeguards—because summer will come eventually.
Don’t miss our chat with James Endicott and Somen Palit from Kent’s IT team as we dig into how technology is shaping city services.
Bundle up, grab a hot drink, and hit play!
