Charge Point - Traverse City Light & Power

Transportation · Traverse City, MI

The Old Town Parking Deck stands as a testament to Traverse City's commitment to sustainable tourism. Built in 2018 during downtown's renaissance, this four-story structure solved parking woes while embracing the future with electric vehicle charging stations. Local officials worked with environmental groups to make it Michigan's first carbon-neutral municipal parking facility. Solar panels crown the roof, and the charging stations see steady use from Tesla owners heading to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Prius drivers exploring wine country. It's practical infrastructure with a conscience.
