Sheetz did not comment immediately on the grant award. The Moon Township Sheetz is also located in an “environmental justice community.” That’s an area where the median household income is less than 65% of the state median income or with a population that is at least 25% minority, foreign born or lacking English language proficiency. The Sheetz gas station in Moon Township is located at 9002 University Boulevard, less than a half-mile from I-376 Business and less than four miles from I-376. The other sites for the recent DEP grant awards are in Philadelphia Ridley Township, Delaware County and Quakertown, Bucks County. Under the state program, Driving PA Forward in the last few years, about 40 fast chargers and more than 1,300 other chargers have been installed or are in development by companies, local governments and organizations. The agency announced $936,000 in grants on Friday for 16 more fast chargers in high-traffic areas to make electric vehicles more readily available to consumers. The Sheetz in Moon Township will have four fast-charging plugs for electric vehicles courtesy of a $250,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
