Electric Vehicles and Energy Upgrade California are here! Come see how Pittsburg is gearing up for the next wave of vehicle technology and ramping up our workforce to meet new demands in energy efficiency. Join the City of Pittsburg during the lunch hour to celebrate the new addition of an electric vehicle charging station in the Civic Center parking lot. An Eco-Fair featuring green programs and organizations will be there to help celebrate and share valuable information about exciting new green technologies and opportunities.

The new EV charging stations will allow visitors and employees of City Hall, the Pittsburg Public Library, and the Contra Costa County Courthouse to charge their electric vehicles as they do business there. Having charging stations spread out throughout the community is key to supporting local residents and workers who want to buy an electric vehicle and save thousands of dollars on gasoline. By having multiple public places to charge, they can be sure that they will not run out of power before they reach their destination.

Local agencies are actively promoting training opportunities for the local workforce to join the growing green building industry as energy efficiency contractors and workers. Hear brief announcements on programs currently launching for homeowners and local contractor workforce.

Featuring a speech by Mark Herbert, Chief of Staff for Assemblymember Susan Bonilla, and representatives of Contra Costa County.
