Roswell panel backs $143K contract for festive lights
A Roswell City Council committee has endorsed a $143,037 contract to implement the city’s Festive and Holiday Lighting Master Plan – an initiative to brighten up City Hall and the Cultural Arts Center, Historic Town Square and Heart of Roswell Park.
If the full Council approves the Community Development and Transportation Committee item, Outdoor Lighting Perspective would implement the lighting plan adopted in December.
The plan calls for aesthetically pleasing lights that follow the architectural lines of buildings, use energy-efficient lighting technologies such as LEDs, and reduce installation and removal costs by purchasing permanent festive lighting that can stay in place all year.
Roswell intends to spend $63,922 on lights this year; $27,169 in 2017, and $51,945 in 2018 to complete the plan.
Among the proposals: LED colored lights for City Hall, the windows in the dome and on its columns; LED globes in the trees outside the Cultural Arts Center; lights on the Town Square bandstand and wrought iron fence, and downlighting of key trees in the Heart of Roswell Park.
