McClellan Applauds $1.4 Million for Henrico County Community Charging Network

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) applauded the Federal Highway Administration’s announcement that Henrico County will receive $1,452,800 through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program. 

The federal funding will support the construction of 38 electric vehicle (EV) charging ports at seven publicly accessible community facilities, such as libraries, government centers, parks, and recreation sites. The funds will also be used to establish a process for identifying and planning future phases of EV infrastructure development. 

“As we transition to a future powered by safe, reliable and clean energy, we must develop the infrastructure capable of supporting fleets of electric vehicles,” said Congresswoman McClellan. “The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program unlocks new potential for Henrico County and the Fourth District overall. I look forward to tracking this program’s progress and supporting future efforts to improve our clean energy infrastructure in the Commonwealth.  

The Biden-Harris Administration announced $623 million in grants to help build out an electric vehicle (EV) charging network across the U.S. through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program. Read more about the Federal Highway Administration’s program here.
