The Aberdeen City Council has approved the placement of a Tesla Supercharger station as part of the future Gate Center. The station would allow for quick charging of certain models of Tesla electric cars.
The center is envisioned as a regional enterprise location. It would offer conference and event spaces, a gift store, coffee shop and office space for Greater Grays Harbor Inc., which would relocate to the site. There would also be space for other tenants, according to the project plan completed in February.
The Tesla Station is expected to help attract potential tenants to the center as the first project participant. It would also provide nearby restaurants and retailers with additional business.
The supercharger station will be installed in a part of the project that is slated for a parking area. It's currently a long-empty area that formerly hosted a Chevron filling station.
