Leamington Moving Closer To LED’s

Leamington council is moving forward with a $25,000 project to have its streetlight network mapped out before it looks for companies to bid on installing new LED lights in town. The muncipality’s five year capital plan shows $1.3-million is needed to change over the roughly 2,200 streetlights in Leamington to light emitting diode technology. “We’ll probably do them in phases,” says John Paterson, the Leamington mayor stressing the mapping is a first step before committing funds to new street lighting. “There’s no way we can afford to just dump $1.3-million, we don’t have that kind of cash lying around.”
