Webster awarded $228,010 Green Communities grant to upgrade Park Avenue lighting to LED
Summary
The acting business manager announced a $228,010 Green Communities grant to replace lighting at Park Avenue Elementary with LED fixtures, with work planned for summer break.
Webster Public Schools announced a Green Communities grant award of $228,010 to upgrade lighting at Park Avenue Elementary.
The acting business manager told the committee the grant will fund LED lighting upgrades and that the district expects the work to occur over summer break; she said an April-break schedule was mentioned but seemed ambitious. "Webster Rowe is awarded grant funding in the amount of $228,010 to upgrade the lighting at Park Ave Elementary for LED lighting," the acting business manager said.
Officials noted that Park Avenue opened in about 2015 and that its current lighting is already more than a decade old; the LED retrofit is expected to provide energy savings over time. The acting business manager also said the food-service kitchen at Park Avenue had two minor findings in a recent inspection that have since been addressed by the food manager and head custodian.
The committee did not take a formal vote on the grant acceptance in the recorded discussion; the announcement was informational and staff will return with implementation details and scheduling.
