The station, being developed by Hill Oil Co., is part of a larger alternative fuel/advanced vehicle project administered by the North Carolina Solar Center's Clean Transportation Program, with funding from the North Carolina Department of Commerce State Energy Division. The initiative uses funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. 

Also part of this 15-month, $500,000 initiative is an upcoming compressed natural gas refueling station. The CNG station, to be installed by the Greenville Utilities Commission, will be used by East Carolina University's bus system.
