“Knowledge Bites” are focused on providing introductory information about economic and community development tools, programs, and funding opportunities.  These webinars will be held virtually at 12pm on the second Tuesdays of every month. The individual webinars will be 30 minutes long, including 20 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes of questions from participants.

For this session, you’ll hear from Gary Holloway (VTDHCD) on the new EVSE program. In total $2.4 in funding will be available over multiple years to support the installation of Level 2 and DC fast charge stations at qualified locations in Vermont.  The grant proceeds result from settlements to partially resolve Volkswagen’s violations of the Clean Air Act.  This program is a partnership between Department of Environmental Conservation, Department of Housing and Community Development, Agency of Transportation, Department of Health and Public Service Department.

The program prioritizes funding in state designated areas (downtowns, village centers, new town centers, growth centers and neighborhood planning areas), highway corridors, public transit hubs, major tourist destinations, colleges/universities, hospitals, public park and rides, workplaces and multi-unit housing.  Eligible applicants include Governments (Federal, State, municipal, public education institutions, public utilities, and other public institutions), businesses, non-profits, homeowner associations, electric utilities, and EVSE equipment providers.

Tune in to hear more from Gary.
