Kensington Town Hall

The Town of Kensington is inviting residents and area energy enthusiasts to a NH Energy Week celebration on Monday, May 4, at 5:30 pm at the Kensington Town Hall. At the event, the town will flip the switch on its new geothermal HVAC system, bringing clean, earth-powered heating and cooling to the historic Town Hall housing Kensington’s administrative offices, Police Department, and public meeting room. The town will also be presented with a SolSmart Bronze award from Clean Energy NH--a recognition of its commitment to solar energy and its work to clear the path for continued clean energy growth.
Kensington turned to geothermal when the HVAC system serving its Police Department failed, replacement components were no longer available, and installing a new outdoor system was not feasible. Working with town leadership, the Kensington Energy Committee conducted a comprehensive review of replacement options, lifecycle costs, operating performance, maintenance requirements, and occupant comfort. The committee concluded that a geothermal HVAC system represented the most economically and operationally sound solution, with a payback period comparable to air‑source heat pump alternatives but with approximately 50 percent lower operating costs. The project was financed through federal Direct Pay investment tax credits, federal domestic content bonus incentives, and special-use appropriations from the Town’s reserve funds.
The geothermal system is the second renewable-energy upgrade to the Town Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Last year, the town installed solar panels on the building’s roof, earning kudos for being the first New Hampshire town to complete a solar project under the Municipal Solar Grant Program--funded through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and managed by the NH Clean Energy Fund. It was also lauded for demonstrating how historic preservation and clean energy could complement one another. Over its lifespan, the solar system is projected to save Kensington more than $400,000.
To attend: Kensington’s NH Energy week event will be held on Monday, May 4, at 5:30 pm at the Kensington Town Hall, 95 Amesbury Road, Kensington, NH. The event is free and open to the public. Participants are asked to register <a href="https://nhew26-kensington-goes-green.eventbrite.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here, at EventBrite.</a>

<h1>Book Launch: Victoria Arlen, author of The View Is Worth It</h1>
Join us for the local book launch of The View Is Worth It: Unlocking the Beauty in Life's Peaks and Valleys by hometown author, Victoria Arlen!&nbsp;
A television host and gold-medalist swimmer shares her previously untold story of moving beyond survival to true healing, offering hope and help for anyone battling the silent pain of mental health struggles.
Imagine appearing to have it all--a miraculous story of survival, a rewarding career as a TV host and reporter, multiple medal wins in swimming, and the opportunity to travel the world speaking--but silently wanting to end it all ... and nearly succeeding. At the height of her success, Victoria Arlen found herself in a hopeless place she calls Rock-Bottomville.
Behind the smile was a struggle few could see. Victoria could no longer outrun the anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts pulling her down. She was known as the woman who--despite being written off as a lost cause--had emerged from a four-year vegetative state and survived. Then very quickly thrived. But the weight of being "the successful survivor" became too much. She spent a decade encouraging others not to give up, but she was slowly giving up on herself.
In this powerful book, Victoria speaks directly to the rising mental health crisis among younger adults, sharing helpful tools and powerful truths to remind us:
<ul><li>Your story does not end in defeat.</li><li>You can find a purpose for the pain.</li><li>There are blessings in the breakdowns.</li><li>It's okay to not be okay.</li></ul>
As Victoria has discovered, the climb out of Rock-Bottomville is steep, but the view from a place of faith, hope, and healing is always worth it.
Victoria Arlen is an accomplished motivational speaker, TV host/reporter, author, gold-medalist swimmer, philanthropist. With her TV career spanning more than a decade and starting at the age of twenty while in a wheelchair, Victoria has achieved far more than ever imagined, especially after not being expected to live to 15 years old and facing obstacle after obstacle. Her achievements and story of survival have been recognized internationally and nationally, including by the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list. &nbsp;
