New York State will contribute $325,000 in state funding for an LED streetlight conversion project in the Town of Owego. Senator Fred Akshar and Owego Town Supervisor Don Castellucci announced the grant Wednesday afternoon. With the cost of the project set at $604,000, the state funding will bring the cost for the Town of Owego down to $279,000. The project began on July 7th, and is set to be completed by April 18th, 2018, converting a total of 529 light fixtures to LED. Included in the $604,000 is the cost of purchasing the streetlights from NYSEG, street lighting upgrades, Hickories Park lighting upgrades and town hall exterior lighting upgrades. Lasting an average of 22-34 years, the new LED conversion project will save taxpayers an estimated $64,008 annually.
