Springfield supervisors discuss LED streetlights, solar plan and budget study option

Supervisor Jim Hopkins raised the possibility of upgrading some township streetlights to LED fixtures to improve energy efficiency. Supervisor Raymond Kade said he preferred investing roughly $60,000 toward a solar installation at the township building and reported Engineer Mr. Fulmer is preparing a solar plan; Kade stated that he would rather allocate funds to a solar project than to a separate budget study. Ms. Yearwood said Diamond Communications offered to perform wireless propagation and deficiency studies for cell-tower planning at no cost.
