Get Around the District with EV Charging Stations!
Your CID’s vision for the future of our district includes a more accessible commercial and community center through improved transit and connectivity using multiple modes of transit, and supporting alternative fuel vehicles today is part of that initiative. Did you know that electrify america in the Reynolds Crossing shopping center (3093 Steve Reynolds Boulevard, Duluth) and EVgo in the Pleasant Hill Plaza shopping center (1630 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth) offer public EV charging stations in the district?
Business owners, citizens and visitors can support these businesses and be eco-friendly when shopping in the district!
