Why This Vote Matters
The city council unanimously approved applying for a $3 million state loan to replace old streetlights with energy-efficient LED bulbs throughout the city. The loan will be repaid using the money saved on electricity bills from the more efficient lighting, making it essentially cost-neutral to taxpayers. Any rebates received from the upgrade will fund additional streetlight improvements in other parts of the city. This continues the council's strong pattern of supporting infrastructure improvements, with all members historically voting in favor of such projects more than 80% of the time.
