IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) is offering a program which would bring better lighting to parks and sporting facilities in the valley.
The IID is lighting up the Imperial Valley by offering the “Green Lighting for Outdoor Wellness” (GLOW) Grant to renew old lighting.
“IID will grant up to $35,000 per project and you can change that lighting to energy efficient lighting using LEDs,” said Robert Schettler, Public Information Officer for IID.
Schettler says a new lighting system could be a game changer because more people could go out at night to practice any sport and have a healthier lifestyle.
“You can benefit for using less energy but get more lighting, then you can be interested in this program,” Schettler explained.
The deadline to apply for a GLOW Grant is May 22. To apply, click here.
