Gov. Kay Ivey awarded a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant to help the city of Greenville embrace a step into the future. The grant will fund critical water and sewer infrastructure to support a new development along Interstate 65 focused on electric vehicle travel. The project, spearheaded by Atlanta-based company Switchyard Management LLC, will provide shopping, dining and entertainment options built around EV charging stations.
“This development will provide a place for electric vehicle owners to enjoy while they charge their vehicles, and it will enable the city of Greenville and surrounding areas to highlight their unique offerings and foster local commerce,” Gov. Ivey said. “I am pleased to award this grant.”
