Council approves grants for EV charger and DOE Electrify Everett education program
Summary
Council approved a MassDEP grant to install an EV charging station in the Victoria Street lot and accepted a $300,000 DOE grant to support the Electrify Everett program to expand resident education and utility support.
The council voted to accept and expend two grants related to electric vehicles and energy education. The clerk summarized the requests: a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection grant of about $39,425 to purchase an electric vehicle charging station (two ports) for the Victoria Street parking lot, and a U.S. Department of Energy award of $300,000 to support the Electrify Everett team’s work on resident education and utility support.
Councilors moved to take the items together; a roll-call vote recorded approval. The sponsor noted the DOE grant aims to improve resident access to energy efficiency resources and utility-support education. Councilors asked no substantive changes to the grants; the items were approved and will be administered by the city with standard grant-acceptance procedures.
Next steps: city staff will return with implementation details and coordinate site selection, installation timing, and public-information outreach for the Electrify Everett program.
