How long will the project last?

The project began in April 2017, with the Town’s Energy Committee evaluating the benefits of installing LEDs.  An audit of the fixtures the Town is purchasing was performed in April 2018 and locations were plotted for transfer to the Town’s Geographic Information System (GIS). Pilot fixtures for resident feedback are scheduled to be installed the first week of July 2018 and the final LED streetlight installations should occur by September.
