EV Charging Study 

Newbridge was accepted to the Charge Up Fairfax program, and we are exploring installing community EV chargers


Right now we are taking advantage of a county program that will allow us to get a free assessment, determine the feasibility of the project, and get a significant reduction in installation costs if we do move forward. It’s an exciting opportunity, but also one that we are not required to do if it doesn’t fit the community.

If we decide to move forward with the project, we can reimbursed for up to 1/3 of the cost of installing the chargers. 

 

On August 16th Fairfax country representatives conducted a site visit in Newbridge to evaluate potential sites for EV Chargers. The site judged most suitable is in B court, located opposite the playground.

The county will send us a full engineering report and cost estimate in the next 4-6 weeks. During this period we will be contacting EV charging manufacturers for equipment price quotes. Once we have all of this information we will be able to make an informed decision, with community input, on how to move forward.  

Please see FAQ for further information.


Lighting Replacement 

Provide feedback on the updated Streetlights. The streetlights in Newbridge Court were recently converted to LEDs. As some homeowners have raised concerns about the increased brightness, the Newbridge HOA Board is issuing this survey to determine which streetlights should have a shield installed and/or be directionally adjusted.
