Buchanan’s electric charging station should be up and running this week.

City Manager Bill Marx said the station was originally planned to be installed at a parking island near the Buchanan Common area, but security concerns caused the city to elect to place it in front of the police department.

The installation of the $13,500 station was delayed when the city learned it would cost $9,000 to have it installed. Marx said he was able to have a local electrician do it for a “nominal cost.”

The charging station was almost completely funded by grants.
