Changing Them To LED

ONEONTA – Common Council Tuesday will be briefed on a program to finance City Hall’s purchase of 1,000 streetlights and converting them for energy-saving LED bulbs.

Through the state’s “Smart Street Light NY” program, the city would buy all the streetlights, now owned by NYSEG, and install new streetlights with a $1.25 million state loan, which it would repay with an estimated $125,000 in annual savings.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Common Council will hear a presentation from the New York Power Authority and Guth DeConzo Consulting Engineers, which has offices in New York City and the Capital District.

The news was contained in a press release from the City Clerk’s Office, issued today, which also invited the public to attend, listen to the presentation and provide input.
