Hammond Awarded Grant for EV Charging Stations

The City of Hammond is proud to announce it has been awarded funding through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program to support the installation of new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at high-traffic city locations.

The grant will fund the deployment of EV charging infrastructure at the Hammond Sportsplex and City Hall, two strategic locations aimed at promoting sustainable transportation and supporting the growing number of electric vehicle users in the community.

“We are excited to take this next step in building a greener future for Hammond,” said Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr. “This grant allows us to make real progress on sustainability while making EV adoption more accessible for our residents and visitors.”
