We invite you to continue visiting Keene’s downtown shops, restaurants, and services during the Downtown Project. Parking spaces in the construction area will remain available except for periods of time when sections of spaces will be undergoing construction as the underground utilities are replaced. If a handicap space is temporarily closed, another will be assigned nearby. If you can’t find a parking space on the street, consider using the parking lots on Gilbo Ave (Gilbo East Lot and Commercial Lot) which are very close, have longer time limits, and cost less per hour.
Phase 1 of the Downtown Project, the Central Square area, begins in July.

We will continue to warm through the rest of week with heat index values into the low to mid 90s across portions of southern New Hampshire and possibly into parts of western Maine by Thursday/Friday. Use caution if working or recreating outdoors.
Imagine answering your phone and hearing a family member’s voice. They tell you they’ve been arrested, and they need you to send money immediately for them to be released from jail. You feel completely shocked, and you might immediately feel like you need to send them as much as they need.
But the voice that you’re hearing is completely fake! Cybercriminals find videos of your friends or family on social media and then use AI to make a replica of their voice. The scammers then use the cloned voice to call you. They hope that if you hear a familiar voice, you will not stop to verify what’s actually happening. They usually ask you to send money using methods that are difficult to track, such as wire transfer, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Anything you send them is nearly impossible to recover.
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to AI voice cloning scams:
• Set up a secret code word with close family members. Choose something that can’t be found online and use it to verify each other’s identity in emergencies.
• If someone you know calls you and claims to need money immediately, hang up and call them back directly using a known phone number to verify their story.
• Be mindful of receiving unusual instructions, such as being asked to send a large amount of money in an unusual way. If someone is in jail, it’s highly unlikely that they would ask for money to be sent using cryptocurrency!
