Electric Vehicle Charging Station
The electric vehicle charging station located in the town owned parking at the corner of Broad Street and Maple Avenue was damaged due to a vehicle accident and resulting fire. The charging unit is out of service and staff is working with the EV charging station vendor and others to coordinate the repair/replacement of the unit. At this point no definitive time line has been established but we are hoping the charging station will be in operation by late January or early February.
