Resident suggests sign to limit arena lighting as electricity prices climb
Summary
A resident asked the Town of Clifton to post a sign at the Clifton-Fine Arena asking that only one bay of lights be turned on at a time to reduce energy use amid rising electricity costs.
During public comment, guest J. Lanphear raised concerns about rising electricity costs and suggested a low-cost conservation measure at the Clifton-Fine Arena: "maybe a sign could be posted at the Clifton-Fine Arena to only turn one bay of lights on at a time." Supervisor William Griffin acknowledged the concern and said the town would look into the suggestion.
The comment came as St. Lawrence County Legislator Larry Denesha reported that county officials had heard from National Grid representatives about rising electricity costs (supply costs reported up about 30% and usage up about 20% year-over-year). The board did not take formal action on the arena suggestion at the meeting.
