The Town has started the LED conversion of all Town-owned lights and installation is expected to be completed by end of November 2017; however, until recently, the Town did not have jurisdiction to modify FPL owned lights to LED lights.

In a recent meeting with FPL representatives, the Town was made aware of new tariffs that are available for LED conversion on FPL owned lights. With the new FPL tariffs, it may be possible to convert the existing FPL owned lights to LED at no additional monthly cost. LED streetlights are more energy efficient, have a longer lifespan, and produce a higher quality of light than the existing fixtures which would provide citizens with better light quality on streets and roadways. This would allow the Town to provide the rest of the Town with a similar alternative, providing more uniform and consistent lighting across the Town at no additional cost.

The LED retrofit project supports two goals in the Town's 2025 Strategic Plan: Achieve universal environmental sustainability in public and private environments, operations and infrastructure; and, Achieve National recognition as a ‘Model Town' for creativity, education, innovation and use of technology.
