Carefree Truth
Issue #539, December 26, 2016
Gary Neiss reported that Carefree contracted with a professional holiday lighting company last fall that installs lighting for towns and shopping centers. They installed the first half of the lights prior to the Pumpkin Festival to provide additional ambient lighting in the Gardens. They installed and turned on the colored lights after Thanksgiving. The Town owns all the lights.
The string lighting on the buildings along Easy Street were also replaced. 8 or 9 years ago, Carefree received an easement along those buildings to install the string lighting to frame the promenade along Easy Street at night. The lights had become weathered and were a fire hazard. The cool blue lights were replaced with warm white lights that use new LED technology. Both lighting upgrades received quite a bit of positive feedback from both the community and the business district.
Mayor Les Peterson stated that all the improvements to the downtown embarked upon during the previous and current fiscal years are now completed. He looks forward to enjoying the benefits of those improvements as we go into the high season.
