Churchville Mayor Nancy Steedman says LED spotlights were recently installed at the Flagpole and Clock Tower/monument outside the Village Hall.
The project was part of a new RAB Lighting Inc. community outreach program to honor those who serve by providing municipalities with a low cost opportunity to upgrade traditional lighting fixtures at monuments and memorials to low-maintenance, energy-efficient LED.
“RAB Lighting donated $1,000 in fixtures for the site,” Mayor Steedman says. The fixtures were installed by Falcone Electric of Batavia.
In a news release dated May 20, 2016, RAB states that the company will donate free LED lighting fixtures to, “illuminate monuments, memorials, signs and other structures that honor the people who serve or have served the country or local community. This includes memorials and monuments that recognize the service of military, police, firefighters, EMS and educators in addition to illuminating official U.S. and state flags that are displayed at public parks and buildings.”
Additionally, RAB says that the energy efficient LED lighting can help government agencies and municipalities save more than 80 percent on energy costs.
Mayor Steedman says the Village of Churchville is also considering utilizing the RAB lighting program to illuminate the Veteran’s stone memorial located outside the Newman Riga Library.
