The City of Reedsport will have the grand opening and ribbon cutting for its new Electric Vehicle Charging Station on Friday, April 24th at 11:00 a.m.

A city release said the station is located at the corner of Winchester Avenue and 5th Street in the historic downtown area. The four EV charging stations are just steps away from unique shops, restaurants, city resources, events, and activities.

The project has come fruition thanks to grants from the Oregon Coast Visitors Association, Travel Southern Oregon Coast, and the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Community Charging Rebates program. Assistance came from Central Lincoln Public Utility District, Elkhorn Electric and multiple departments at the City of Reedsport.
