Moving to a new place can be daunting. In a town like Kent, steeped in history and endearing traditions, trying to piece it all together can feel intimidating.
At Kent News, Inc., publisher of the Kent Dispatch, we want to help. Not only have we experienced first-hand being the “new kid” on the block. Whether you are a full-time resident, part-time resident, boarding student, or on a temporary work assignment, you belong here. We’re glad to welcome you to Kent!
Kent runs on volunteers. In a town of about 3,000 residents, Kent has nearly 40 nonprofit organizations, this news source included, and a robust municipal government of paid employees and volunteers (various commissions and committees).
