PRESS RELEASE Lathrup Village Selected for Electric Vehicle Charging Station Through Statewide Infrastructure Program

Lathrup Village, MI — The City of Lathrup Village is proud to announce that it has been selected as a key site for the expansion of Michigan’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. As part of the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) second round of the NEVI Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM) program, a new EV charging station will be installed at 26727 Southfield Road, at the BP Gas and Liquor location.


This site was identified as Gap #33 along the I-696 Alternative Fuel Corridor, a priority route for EV infrastructure development. The selection results from collaboration between the State of Michigan and the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), which has worked to identify charging infrastructure gaps throughout the region.


The project will be delivered by Red E Charge, a leading company in EV charging solutions, and will help improve access to clean transportation for Lathrup Village residents, commuters, and travelers along the I-696 corridor.


“This is an exciting step forward in making Lathrup Village a more connected, sustainable community,” said Mayor Kelly Garrett. “We’re proud to be part of the effort to expand EV access and help Michigan meet its clean energy goals.”


The new charging site will support the state’s broader efforts under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which is federally funded to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and build a reliable, accessible charging network across Michigan.


For more information on the NEVI program and EV infrastructure planning, visit www.Michigan.gov/EV.

LV Headlee Information Website

What's on the ballot?

Here are some items that voters should expect to see on the November 2025 ballot that are directly related to Lathrup Village:


1) Three (3) seats on the Lathrup Village City Council


2) Charter Amendment - Proposal 1

Shall the City of Lathrup Village Charter be amended to eliminate conflicts with the state constitution and election laws.

 

This proposed Charter amendment would:

  1. Modify the commencement date of an elected official’s term until after certification of the election results;
  2. Extend the time for elected officials to take the oath of office to allow for certification of the election results;
  3. Delay the organizational meeting of the City Council until after certification of the election results.

              

Should this proposal be adopted?


[YES]                    [NO]


3) Headlee Override Millage Proposal

Shall a “Headlee Override” be adopted so that the current limitation on the amount of City taxes that may be levied against all taxable property in the City of Lathrup Village, Oakland County, Michigan, be increased as follows:


  • Restoring to 20 mills from approximately 17.3001 mills, per $1,000 of taxable value (to $20 from approximately $17.3001) for general operating expenses for a period of ten (10) years, and
  • Restoring to 3 mills from approximately 2.5948 mills, per $1,000 of taxable value (to $3 from approximately $2.5948) for sanitation/rubbish for a period of ten (10) years.


If approved and levied in its entirety, this millage would raise an estimated maximum amount of $611,909 for the City in 2026 by allowing the City to levy the maximum mills previously approved by the voters and authorized by the City Charter and State law which have been reduced as required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963.


[YES]                    [NO]
