Atlantic City to upgrade 9,000 streetlights to LEDs

The city will upgrade nearly 9,000 of its streetlights to LED bulbs. Mayor Don Guardian signed an agreement with Atlantic City Electric to upgrade 5,683 streetlights at no cost to the city, according to an announcement Friday. The conversion will cost $750,000, which is part of a $2 million grant the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities awarded the city to fund the design and implementation of LED technology citywide, the statement said.
