GLOVERSVILLE – Installation of LED lighting has cut the electricity cost for the city’s streetlamps by more than half, city officials said Tuesday.
During Tuesday night’s Common Council meeting, City Commissioner of Finance Tammie Weiterschan gave the council an update on the status of the savings from the LED project. She told the council the National Grid bills sent to the city for the streetlamp electricity had been going to an unmonitored email account for the last three months, but after that problem was resolved, she got her first look at the new bills reflecting the installation of the LED lights. She was pleased to see the savings.

She said the city of Gloversville’s taxable income has increased by $3.8 million from a year ago. She said it goes with a rising trend the last few years.
