The Twin Cities Clean Cities Coalition (TC4), coordinated by American Lung in Minnesota, will be applying for grant monies with support through the Minnesota Pollution Control for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations in Ramsey's Parking Ramp. This partnership includes the National Park Service's unit along the Mississippi River in Ramsey. The two EV stations would be on the second floor of the ramp, and will be a $20,000 value with no cost or match required by the city. The ultimate funding source is the U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities program. The purpose is to both encourage the use of EV vehicles in the metro for air quality benefits, but moreover to encourage tourism along the river in the 72 -mile Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. This is but one part in the Park Service's program to promote Alternative Transportation in the park; and is also the same initiative that may be key to funding the Mississippi Skyway over the highway — providing a pedestrian connection between The COR and the Regional Park and trails. A third, fourth and fifth ancillary benefit of the EV charging stations would be encouraging visits to The COR by Electric Vehicle owners for shopping and ridership on the Northstar; and also for potential tenants at The Residence.
