Norway (Michigan) gets estimate for LED streetlights

Town Manager Dennis Lajoie announced Thursday evening that the cost of converting 293 streetlights to LED bulbs is $175,177. Voters have approved spending up to $200,000 for the work by Realterm Energy of Maryland and set aside $13,000 for it this fiscal year, which ends June 30. The $175,177 estimate includes the $13,000 already set aside. The town would lose $1,300 in annual tax revenue after the conversion, but save about $33,700 in energy costs annually.
