After the reconstruction of a downtown parking lot was completed this past fall, a new feature was added to the parking lot – a charging station for electric vehicles.
The new charging station was installed in a parking lot across the street from Leavenworth City Hall at Fifth and Seneca streets.
The charging station, which is owned by the power company Evergy, was installed in a public parking lot owned by the city.
Evergy previously was known as Westar Energy.
“With more people currently driving electric cars, and advances in technology leading to more prospective buyers, we are excited about the partnership with Evergy to provide this service to residents and visitors of Leavenworth,” Assistant City Manager Taylour Tedder said in an email. “While vehicles are charging people can take advantage of the nearby attractions, restaurants and shopping in the downtown.”
