Pottstown Aims To Get Environmentally Friendly Streetlights

Pottstown officials are hoping to authorize a grant application for nearly $1 million to replace all of the borough’s street lights with LED lights, according to a report by the Pottstown Mercury.

LED lamps, short for light-emitting diodes, produce much more light with much less electricity, the report states.

Not only are LED lamps more environmentally friendly, but they also emit a higher quality light, according to the report.

The application will be sent to the Pennsylvania Department of Economic and Community Development by the end of the month.
