Town of Stow Receives $83,845 Grant to Purchase Four New Electric Vehicle Charging Ports

STOW — Town Administrator Denise Dembkoski is delighted to announce that the Town of Stow has been awarded an $83,845 grant to acquire new electric vehicle charging stations through the Massachusetts Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (MassEVIP) Public Access Charging Program.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s MassEVIP Public Access Charging Program is one of several rolling grant programs aimed at making electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging stations more widely available across Massachusetts. 

The $83,845 in funding will be split to cover the costs for four new electric vehicle charging ports in the following locations:

• An amount not to exceed $42,732 for two ports at 509 Great Road.
• An amount not to exceed $41,113 for two ports at 60 Old Bolton Road.

The charging stations will be the first in the Town of Stow.

As a designated Green Community, Stow is working toward becoming a Climate Leader. This funding will be the next step in providing a greener community for residents and visitors.

“Thank you to the Department of Environmental Protection for awarding us with this funding, which will help to improve access to EV charging stations for all Stow residents,” said Town Administrator Dembkoski. “I especially want to thank our Procurement and Grants Administrator Ashley Pinard for all of her hard work in securing this funding; thank you for all you do!”

The new EV charging stations are expected to be installed over the next six months.
