We are excited to begin Downtown planning with some help from Electricities!

Let’s give it up for the Town of Drexel, the City of Gastonia, the Town of La Grange, the City of New Bern, the City of Newton, and the Town of Wake Forest, recipients of the Spring 2026 ElectriCities Downtown Revitalization Grants! 🏗️
Each of these communities will receive $10,000 to help boost downtown and support their revitalization goals.

The Town of Drexel will put its funds toward creating a Downtown Master Plan that will serve as a strategic roadmap for revitalization, economic development, and long-term sustainability in the community’s historic core.
The City of Gastonia will use its funding to launch a first-phase effort to activate public spaces and strengthen downtown’s identity.
The Town of La Grange will put its funds toward transforming a Town-owned parking lot located in the heart of historic downtown into a welcoming, Garden Spot-themed space that celebrates La Grange’s identity and better serves residents, businesses, and visitors.
The City of New Bern will use its grant funds to develop a Downtown Master Plan in partnership with Swiss Bear, Inc.
The City of Newton will use its grant to close a key gap in its downtown pedestrian network, improving access between a high-traffic parking area and nearby businesses.
The Town of Wake Forest will use its grant to install a large-scale mural on a prominent downtown building, creating a welcoming gateway into its commercial district.
