Shutterstock (TNS) As part of a host of green-energy efforts, Keene is working on a set of guidelines to help people make their properties electric vehicle friendly.
On Wednesday, the city s Energy and Climate Committee heard a presentation on draft guidelines about how to construct buildings with electric-vehicle (EV) infrastructure or update existing buildings to support such infrastructure. The draft was created by Keene State College senior Julia Anselmo.
Promoting infrastructure to support EVs is one element of the city s plan to use 100 percent renewably sourced electricity throughout Keene by 2030 and renewable thermal and transportation energy by 2050. The City Council adopted the roadmap for achieving this goal in January.
With unanimous, bipartisan support, legislation to increase access to critical healthcare services has passed the Assembly’s Aging and Long-Term Care Committee. AB 540, authored by Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, will help more seniors remain in their homes and in our communities by improving beneficiary awareness and increasing access to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
“We need to prepare our healthcare systems to adapt and accommodate California’s rapidly aging population,” said Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Laguna Beach). “PACE provides our most vulnerable seniors with affordable, high quality and comprehensive care, saving money and helping seniors age in place. PACE has saved the state tens of millions of dollars annually this is a true win-win.”

Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris has introduced Assembly Bill 540 which will help thousands of California’s growing population of seniors remain in their homes and in our communities, by improving beneficiary awareness and access to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
PACE is designed to provide care for California’s frail population as an alternative to institutionalized care. PACE programs coordinate and deliver preventative and long-term care services to the elderly who would otherwise be in nursing homes, so they can continue to live and thrive in their communities. PACE is the only provider-based model of care where a single entity is entirely responsible for the delivery, outcomes and cost of care. Eligible beneficiaries must be 55 years or older and state-certified to qualify for nursing home care. Program recipients receive all of their services through a one-stop-shop PACE center, while still residing in their community, which is shown to improve
