Brockton streets soon will be illuminated with greater energy efficiency, according to state officials. Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton was in Brockton on Thursday to announce that the city is receiving $283,000 for energy-efficient LED street lighting.

Charlie Baker, in order to expand the state’s Rapid LED Streetlight Conversion Program to 40 additional cities and towns.
