Inland Northwest Towns Upgrade to LED Streetlights

A landmark arrangement between the state of Washington and two major utilities will facilitate the installation of cost-saving LED streetlights in numerous small cities at no cost to the cities. Small cities have lagged nationwide in LED conversion because they cannot afford the initial capital cost. If all the small cities (population less than 5,000) were in one location in Washington, they would form the second largest city in the State, with 40,000 streetlights. The new program - called Relight Washington - is the result of an agreement proposed by the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB).

To learn more about the program and which cities will receive the streetlights, read the TIB's press release.
