New car charging station en route in Lebanon

WEST LEBANON A nonprofit tasked with building electric vehicle charging stations across America has set its sights on Route 12A as a possible home for new charging stations aimed at serving commuters along Interstate 89.
The move comes after similar plans for downtown Lebanon were abandoned due to regulatory hurdles.
Electrify America, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, hopes to build four fast vehicle charging stations near Walmart in West Lebanon.
If approved, the stations would provide an electric vehicle with 60-80 miles of range after plugging in for just 20 minutes.
Lebanon Zoming Administrator Tim Corwin said the project will require a building permit to move forward.
After postponement, Santa to arrive in Riverhead Sunday
Santa Claus is coming to town.
This Sunday, members of the Riverhead Fire Department will hold their annual holiday “Santa Run,” to spread cheer in a holiday season like no other. The Santa Run was initially announced for Saturday, but was postponed one day due to inclement weather in the forecast.
“We pulled some strings and spoke with the Big Man himself and Santa agreed that Sunday, Dec. 13 would be a better option to bring him around the district,” Riverhead Fire Chief Tim Corwin said in a statement.
Starting at noon, Santa and his helpers will travel throughout each neighborhood within the town to kick off the season.
