North Newstead Association

Check out this article where our Executive Director, Pamela D Harris, is featured for her hard work! We are so excited to a part of this effort to bring electrical vehicle access to seniors in St. Louis! "Speaking on the human level, Pam Harris, the executive director of the North Newstead Association, which helped spearhead the St. Louis EV project, says offering someone a needed ride has become even more important during a pandemic that has disproportionately threatened an...d isolated older people. Normally, whenever technology is offered, it’s offered to young people, but in this particular aspect, it is offered to seniors, Harris says. We're not forgetting about them. We're not leaving them in the back. We're actually bringing them forward." https://www.nrdc.org//electric-car-revolution-shouldnt-lea
