Tamworth Energy Committee explores alternatives after T‑Mobile EV grant denial
Summary
The committee reported the T‑Mobile EV grant was denied and discussed alternatives including a possible 50% match from the Northern Border Regional Commission, outreach to local businesses to host chargers, and follow-up with the Tamworth Foundation for seed funding.
The Tamworth Energy Committee reported that a T‑Mobile grant application for electric-vehicle chargers was denied and shifted to discuss several alternative funding paths. Committee members highlighted the Northern Border Regional Commission as a possible source of up to 50% matching funds for projects that pair EV chargers with recreation or mobility work, and noted that congressionally directed funding does not cover EV chargers.
Committee members assigned follow-up tasks: John Kumm will contact Paul Chant to ask whether the Tamworth Foundation could provide partial or seed funding, and members discussed approaching local businesses to host chargers with committee assistance on funding. The committee also noted that small private donations could be combined in the Tamworth trust as seed money.
