Council approves EV charging parking spaces to be installed by Georgia Power

Town Council · March 9, 2026

Summary

The council approved a resolution to create two westbound parking spaces on Caldwell Road for two electric vehicle charging stations to be installed and maintained by Georgia Power, with an addendum requiring the spaces be painted green and designated for EV charging only.

The Town Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution creating two westbound parking spaces on Caldwell Road to serve two electric vehicle charging stations that Georgia Power will install and maintain. Council members discussed terms that Georgia Power would bear installation costs and any related damage; the stations would remain in place only while operational.

Council requested and approved an addendum requiring the spaces be painted green and designated for electric-vehicle charging only. Council member Watts moved to approve the resolution with that addendum; Council member Askvig seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Christopher J. Walker was involved in initial negotiations with Georgia Power and the property owner, according to the meeting record.

The resolution does not impose costs on the town or the private property owner, per the agreement described at the meeting. The council signed the resolution at the meeting and directed staff to record the terms and coordinate with Georgia Power on implementation.
