Board approves CPL engineering for Hamlet Park band shell and EV chargers
Summary
Council engaged CPL to design a band shell and assess installation of fast EV chargers at Hamlet Park; engineers said utility coordination and feeder capacity will determine final siting and cost.
The Hillsdale Town Board unanimously approved hiring CPL to provide engineering services for a proposed band shell and the potential installation of fast EV chargers at Hamlet Park. Chair introduced CPL representatives and asked the firm to refine kit selection and community input for the band shell; the firm estimated engineering work at roughly $12,000 of the $15,000 total package for the band shell engineering work.
On chargers, CPL explained the process: identify feeder capacity with the utility, determine the best connection point (likely off a three-phase feeder), and factor in costs if feeder upgrades are required. An engineer said the location most likely under consideration is the Maple parking lot. Board members noted available grant funding for charger installation and that a contractor administering grants might handle installation if awarded.
