County greenlights LED transition

No one has signed anything yet, but the Nodaway County Commission gave an informal nod of approval to a proposal from Brightergy, a company specializing in solar and LED installations, that will transform lighting systems at all four county facilities: the Administration Center, jail, courthouse and Road and Bridge barn. If formally adopted, the project will replace existing fluorescent fixtures with LEDs, a highly efficient illumination technology that Brightergy claims will save the county $10,000 a year over 10 years with no out-of-pocket costs.
