P&Z signs off on new EV chargers in Lakeville

LAKEVILLE — At its July 7 meeting, Salisbury’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved a plan to install electric vehicle charging ports behind Lakeville’s historic railroad station building, 7 Ethan Allen St.

“It seems like an ice age ago that Robert [Schaufelberger, vice chair of Salisbury’s Economic Development Committee] and I were out there looking for locations that would meet all the requirements,” said P&Z Chair Michael Klemens.

Klemens commended Katherine Kiefer, chair of the Economic Development Committee and a selectman, for her work in realizing the project. “It’s been a long road to get here, Kitty; you’ve been very persistent,” he said.

Schaufelberger reported, “After considering a lot of options, this seemed to be one of the best places in terms of availability, close to a town building and of course useful to members of the public who might want to charge their EVs.”

Kiefer affirmed that funds from the America Rescue Plan Act, commonly known as ARPA, are still anticipated to finance the installation of the ChargePoint Level 2 Charger station.
