Big Stone County to pursue no-cost Phase 1 EV charging assessment with RDC

Big Stone County Board of Commissioners · May 5, 2026

Summary

The Board approved contracting with the RDC to pursue Phase 1 of an EV charging station grant (an assessment of need and logistics). Coordinator Pam Rud said Phase 1 has no cost to the county and the RDC will assist with grant writing.

The Big Stone County Board voted May 5 to contract with the RDC to pursue Phase 1 of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station grant, a study to assess need and logistics for a charger in the county.

Coordinator Pam Rud told the Board, "There is no cost to the County for Phase1, and the RDC would assist the County in writing the grant." The RDC previously met with county representatives to discuss whether the county should pursue Phase 1. On a motion by Commissioner Thyne, seconded by Commissioner Klages, the Board voted unanimously to contract with the RDC and pursue Phase 1.

Phase 1 will assess demand, siting logistics and likely infrastructure needs; the RDC will support grant application work if the county chooses to move to later project phases. The contract with the RDC must be approved to complete the assessment work and staff will return with findings and next steps.
