The U.S. Department of Transportation gave the city of Troy a $724,912 grant on Friday to install electric vehicle charging stations.
According to the United States Department of Transportation, Troy will get $724,912 to install community charging stations at ten locations, including near Troy Regional Medical Center, a local museum, Troy University, downtown, and their sports complex.
The grant was part of the Biden administration's announced $635 million in grants to continue building out electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's zero-emission refueling infrastructure programs.
"The Biden Administration has made historic investments to support the EV transition and make sure it's made in America," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "These investments will help states and communities build out a network of EV chargers in the coming years so that one day, finding a charge on a road trip will be as easy as filling up at a gas station."
