The Town of Ogunquit was awarded an incentive award for $32,000 or 90% of the final project costs, whichever is less, to install and operate Level 2chargers at Obed’s Parking Lot, Cottage Street.

This project will provide the town its first 4 outlets (two per charger) for the charging of electric vehicles owned and operarted by the Town.

The Sustainability Committee supported this project and provided the funds for the Town’s required match from our own Budget.

We are proud of the Town’s commitment to a greener Ogunquit.
