Electric Vehicles and Energy Upgrade California are here! The City of Pittsburg is pleased to announce new developments in green technologies in the city. The community is invited to join local organizations and speakers on Monday, April 25th from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM during a lunchtime eco-fair and formal dedication of the City's new electric vehicle charging stations. The event will feature speakers Mark Herbert, Chief of Staff for Assemblymember Susan Bonilla and County Supervisor Federal Glover, announcements from County representatives on the new Energy Upgrade California program, and demonstrations of electric vehicles using the new charging equipment.
The Eco Fair will be held under the City's iconic anchor in the Civic Center parking lot (65 Civic Avenue), between City Hall, the new LEED Green Building Certified Courthouse, and the Pittsburg Public Library. The new EV charging stations will allow visitors and employees of these facilities to charge their electric vehicles as they do business there. A network of charging stations available throughout the community has been identified by electric vehicle drivers as essential to supporting local residents and workers who seek to drive an electric vehicle and save thousands of dollars on gasoline.
The eco-fair will also feature local green organizations showcasing their programs and how they are contributing to real solution in our community and beyond. "It is a thrilling time for new green developments in Pittsburg," said Laura Wright, Administrative Office for the City. "There are new opportunities emerging in every aspect of life and the economy." The City is an active promoter of the new Energy Upgrade California program, which offers utility and government rebates to fund energy efficiency home upgrades and new green workforce opportunities to local contractors.
