• New EV Station constructed in Centralia (morningsentinel.com) — Centralia saw a big jump in July construction costs, driven by a major solar expansion in the Hickory Meadows subdivision and a new $135,000 EV charging station on North Poplar. Dozens of additional permits for garages, fences, sheds, and school and business signs show steady investment in neighborhoods across the city.
