January 8, 2025 Press Release Funds Will Help Meet 21st Century Transportation Needs in Disadvantaged Communities NORTH LAS VEGAS – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) today announced $3.2 million in Department of Transportation grant funding to install 185 electric vehicle charging ports at seven sites across Las Vegas. Initially established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law , the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program facilitates zero- and low-emission transportation infrastructure across the country. “The funding I’m announcing today is yet another example of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivering for Nevadans and helping to ensure a clean energy future for all Americans,” Rep. Horsford said . “This seminal investment has created over 283,000 new jobs in our state alone, drawing nearly $12.5 billion in private sector investment to boost our local economy.” Importantly, the charging infrastructure will be installed primarily in disadvantaged communities at city-owned or controlled, publicly accessible properties like parks, community centers, and multi-family housing. The project includes a citywide outreach and educational campaign about electric vehicle access, charging locations, and available resources. “Electric vehicle charging stations are critical infrastructure to every community – they should never be locked behind a zip code,” Rep. Horsford continued . “Today’s investment is about ensuring access to a clean energy source for Nevadans of all walks of life.” Electric vehicle chargers funded by this grant will be built at the following location: Howard Lieburn Senior Center – 3 chargers Freedom Park - 5 chargers East Las Vegas Community Center - 5 chargers Promenade Garage - 60 chargers City Parkway Garage - 70 chargers City Center Garage - 10 chargers 500 S.
