Southport to get new LED street lighting before end of year

Southport Select Chair Gerry Gamage has signed a contract with Affinity LED Light LLC of Dover, New Hampshire, to convert the island’s 119 Central Maine Power street light fixtures to Smart Ready LED street lighting. The project will cost us approximately $50,000 but will save the community little under $17,000 per year. Over a 10-year period, that means the town will be saving nearly $170,000.
