In the heart of Moraine's city hall, a pivotal discussion unfolded as council members gathered to address the pressing need for streetlight upgrades. Mr. Miller took the floor, shedding light on a collaborative effort with Scott Michaelson, the vice president of Miami Valley Lighting. Their partnership aims to revitalize the city’s aging street lighting infrastructure, which has seen many fixtures fall into disrepair.

Miller detailed the proposal to replace outdated high-pressure sodium lights with energy-efficient LED alternatives. This initiative is not just about aesthetics; it represents a significant step towards enhancing public safety and reducing energy costs for the city. Currently, Moraine has 317 streetlights operating at 16,000 lumens and 279 at 27,000 lumens, all of which are set to be upgraded.

The shift to LED technology promises to improve visibility on the streets while also contributing to a greener environment. As the council deliberates on this proposal, the community watches closely, hopeful for a brighter and more sustainable future. The discussions at this meeting highlight the city’s commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and ensuring the safety of its residents.
