Greenville to apply for $200,000 COG grant to install EV charging at municipal airport
Summary
City staff recommended applying for a North Central Council of Governments grant that would reimburse up to $200,000 for EV charging infrastructure at the Greenville Municipal Airport, with the airport to maintain the unit if awarded.
Airport staff asked the council to approve submitting an application to the North Central Council of Governments (COG) for competitive grants that reimburse up to $200,000 per airport for EV charging infrastructure.
Ty, the airport presenter, said staff identified a location near the south apron by the terminal and recommended applying for the maximum award. He described the grant as a cost‑reimbursement program: "The airport intends to request the maximum award of a $200,000 from COG to support the purchase of and installation of the charging unit," Ty said, noting that no funding would be disbursed until award and agreement execution.
Council asked whether there would be ongoing obligations; Ty said the grant is not a matching program and the city would maintain the charging station similarly to other airport equipment if awarded. The council unanimously approved submitting the application.
