North Central Seeks to Support Local Businesses in Expanding Public EV Charging in the Region
Ridgway, PA – The North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission (North Central) is actively seeking local businesses interested in hosting public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This initiative, in partnership with PennDOT and the Department of Community and Economic Development, aims to enhance the EV charging infrastructure throughout the region.
“By identifying potential charging station sites across our six counties, we support the growing number of EVs and foster EV adoption in our rural areas,” remarked Amy Kessler, Director of Community Development & Regional Planning. “Our goal is to work with local partners who are interested in hosting public EV charging stations.”
North Central is committed to guiding businesses through this process. Assistance includes evaluating charging options, providing access to tools and resources for cost and implementation analysis, and offering support in navigating funding and grant opportunities to help offset costs.
