The Region 1 Planning and Development Council received a $150,000 project grant award from the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program on April 26, 2023. The funding will support a comprehensive feasibility and siting study for electric vehicle charging stations throughout West Virginia's Regions 1 and 4. A qualified consultant team will examine strategic locations to site new EV charging infrastructure and catalyze economic development, support existing businesses, improve quality of life, and aid key tourism destinations. The EDA program provides technical and infrastructure assistance to regions facing adverse economic changes, such as those resulting from declines in industries like coal mining impacting the award recipient's six-county area.
