Streetlights Meeting

The Windham Town Council adopted a streetlight policy this summer and the town’s Energy Advisory Committee has started posting bright green notices on poles with streetlights that do not meet the location criteria of the new policy, and are going to be scheduled to be removed. There will be a meeting on Monday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m. in Town Council chambers for individuals and businesses to get information on how to request lights remain on town accounts, or to have the lights transferred to private accounts. For more information on this process, contact Ben Smith at 894-5900, ext. 6123, or bwsmith@town.windham.me.us.
