Blink Charging Co. will soon relocate its global headquarters to Prince George’s County, Maryland.
The global provider of electric-vehicle charging equipment will be located at Melford Town Center, a mixed-use business community, according to the Maryland Department of Commerce. Alongside the relocation, Blink Charging will construct a new LEED Gold-certified 30,000-square-foot facility at the Bowie, Maryland, site.
“We couldn’t be happier that Blink has chosen Prince George’s County for its new headquarters,” said Maryland Department of Commerce Secretary Kevin Anderson. “Being in close proximity to federal agencies, climate change advocates, and several metropolitan areas incorporating additional electric vehicles will benefit both the company’s bottom line and the environment throughout the Mid Atlantic.”
Blink anticipates creating more than 60 jobs within the first year of its headquarters relocation and manufacturing facility expansion.
