Grant funds to finance new White Bluff vehicle, charging station

White Bluff officials will be using a $160,305 grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program to replace aging equipment for the White Bluff Street Department. The all-electric utility truck will replace a smaller, 30-year-old vehicle. The new vehicle has a larger cargo capacity to hold salt-spreading equipment in the winter. The funds will also allow a Level 2 charging station to be installed at the Bibb-White Bluff Civic Center for community use.
