Outdoor Lighting Workshop for Municipal Planners March 28

The Pennsylvania Outdoor Lighting Council and Department of Environmental Protection are sponsoring a workshop entitled, " Outdoor Lighting: Planning Issues for Municipalities" on March 28.

The program will help define good and bad outdoor lighting, showcasing equipment to help reduce glare and light pollution, and provide tools for communities to protect themselves against irresponsible lighting practices. There will also be an important discussion on the elements of an effective lighting ordinance and the process of getting such an ordinance enacted and enforced.

The workshop will start at 7 p.m. and is being held in the Upper Merion Township Building, 175 West Valley Forge Road in King of Prussia, Montgomery County.

Although the program will focus mainly on the needs of municipal officials, it is open to interested members of the general public as well.

To register, contact Jim McTish at 484-250-5180 or by sending email to jmctish@state.pa.us or visit the Pennsylvania Outdoor Lighting Council website for more information.
