Some Frankfort city lights may be replaced with LEDs

Thanks to communication between city and Frankfort Plant Board staff, the city will be applying for a grant to replace some current street light bulbs with more energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures. The grant is through the Kentucky Energy Efficiency and Conservation for Local Government program in the Department for Local Government. City Manager Tim Zisoff said he and FPB General Manager Herbbie Bannister have been talking informally over the last three years about making the change to LEDs, but prices only recently went down to a level for officials to seriously consider it.
