LED installation currently underway

Mayor Reina is pleased to announce that the first phase of the LED light installation is currently underway. The Township of Jackson has entered into a contract agreement with JCP&L for the retrofitting of existing street lights with LED lighting. Installation has begun on the first phase of this project, consisting of 100 lights, and can be seen on Nature Boulevard and into 60 Acre Reserve. The crews will be out at this location until phase one is complete. From there, they will continue the installation, in phases, throughout the Township until all lights have been installed and are fully functioning. Mayor Reina states, “This is a good move for the Township of Jackson as research has shown that LED lights are up to 70% more efficient than standard lights. These LED lights offer improved efficiency, improved night visibility, they will save the taxpayers a considerable sum of money and reduce energy consumption- ultimately protecting our environment. This is the beginning of the Townships quest to save on energy costs and our commitment to going green.”
