Speaker 1, an EVCO partner identified in the transcript, told the meeting that EVCO proposed a public–private partnership to install electric-vehicle chargers in Canton Township. "Why don't we do a partnership?" the speaker said, adding, "myself and my partners will pay for chargers to be here." Speaker 1 said the company would "do the investment, the transformers, and this is probably 2 years in making with the contract and everything."
Speaker 2 described the project goal as reducing drivers' anxiety about running out of charge. "When they drive their electric car, we want them to feel that, they are backed up by this charging unit," Speaker 2 said.
According to the transcript, Speaker 1 also reported that the chargers were being built and tested recently and that local residents were asking when the stations would open: "as you were building them and testing them this past weekend, people kept driving by and saying, are we almost open?" The remarks indicate community interest but do not record any municipal vote, formal approval, permit status, or firm opening date.
The statements in the meeting describe private funding by the company (referred to as EVCO) and an investment in transformers and charging equipment. The speaker described the contract process as "probably 2 years in making," which is presented in the transcript as an approximate timeline. The transcript does not specify permit, utility interconnection, municipal approvals, or expected public access terms (pricing, hours, or charger types).
Next steps and formal municipal actions were not recorded in the transcript. The meeting remarks present a company proposal and early testing; they do not constitute a municipal decision or binding contract award in the record provided.
