Georgia Power partners with Cooper Lighting to upgrade softball field lights

Peachtree City is set to enhance its sports facilities with the approval of new lighting installations at local fields, following a recent city council work session. The council confirmed that Georgia Power, in partnership with Cooper Lighting, has been awarded the contract for this project, which aims to improve visibility and safety during evening games.

The decision comes after a successful lighting upgrade at the softball fields last September, which addressed significant issues that players and organizers had faced. The new lighting system is expected to provide better illumination and reduce technical problems related to light spread, a concern that had been raised during discussions.

City officials noted that while the goal was to achieve zero lumens at the property line to minimize light pollution, it was determined that some light would be necessary for effective coverage. This compromise reflects the city's commitment to balancing community needs with environmental considerations.

In addition to the lighting project, the council discussed other ongoing initiatives but focused primarily on the immediate benefits of the new installations. The improvements are anticipated to enhance the overall experience for athletes and spectators alike, reinforcing Peachtree City's dedication to fostering an active and engaged community.

As the project moves forward, residents can look forward to safer and more enjoyable sporting events in the city.
