Meaford is exploring the possibility of replacing its 700 street lights with new and brighter LED lights.
Meaford's committee of the whole recommended that council pass a by-law to begin the process.
Treasurer Darcy Chapman said the Municipality would first sign a Letter of Intent with the company, RealTerm Energy.
This would give the company permission to carry out a detailed assessment of Meaford's present streetlighting network, and then present a recommendation to council.
Once council gives the go-ahead, workers would begin replacing the present streetlights for the new ones next spring. The company would provide maintenance on the new lighting system for ten years.
