Norwalk lands $15K grant for free light bulb exchange

The city had landed a $15,000 grant that will be used to help residents replace old, incandescent light bulbs with modern, energy-efficient bulbs. Mayor Harry W. Rilling and Councilman John Kydes, chairman of the Mayor's Energy and Environment Task Force, on Friday were presented the check for the city's participation in Clean Energy Communities program. The Bright Idea Grant will pay for a free Light Bulb Swap that will be held Saturday, Sept. 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Community Room of City Hall, 125 East Ave.
