Tax money helps to reduce carbon emissions and save energy in Texas town

When you pay taxes to the government, it is essential to understand for which purpose that amount is used. Residents of Fairview, Texas will be glad to know that their tax money has been utilized to illuminate the Parkway in an uber-green manner. The authorities partnered with Sunovia Energy Technologies and completed Phase I of the Fairview Parkway roadway installation. Touted to be the best LED lighting job, it has not only met but exceeded all the national roadway lightning illumination standards. It is estimated that each LED light fixture will reduce carbon emissions by 1,000 pounds per year in comparison to a typical HID (high-intensity discharge) fixture. That amounts to a reduction of more than six tons per fixture during its lifetime. Moreover, Fairview, Texas taxpayers will enjoy more than $250,000 in energy savings and maintenance costs during the lifetime of these fixtures.

And they are not stopping here. Matt Donnell, assistant to the town manager of Fairview, stated, “Wherever we can feasibly find a way to use Sunovia’s LED lighting solutions, and save money for the taxpayer on government property, we’re going to do that.”
