MONACA, Aug. 16 – A $627,038 grant secured through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will fund construction of an electric vehicle charging station at the GetGo market and convenience store in Monaca, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie said the project, funded by a grant to Giant Eagle, Inc., will bring multiple benefits for the area.

“As electric vehicle sales continue rising, it’s important that we have the charging infrastructure in place to support them,” Matzie said. “Securing this new funding will allow Giant Eagle to construct a charging station at the GetGo in Monaca. It’s a project that will create jobs and add convenience for motorists who drive EVs.”

The funding is part of a $7.1 million package of grants awarded to 10 projects statewide. The grants are part of $171.5 million in federal funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that PennDOT will receive and distribute for EV charging infrastructure over five years.
