LED streetlight conversion leads to $115K grant

Things are getting brighter and better in town after it was revealed the recent installment of Light Emitting Diode (LED) streetlights has earned the town a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER). Communities throughout the state have been encouraged to convert its traditional High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) fluorescent streetlights to LEDs. Burlington did just that, after Town Meeting voted to approve a bond issue article to convert all the lights in May 2016.
