Albany County Recreation Board funds LED light upgrades for Civic Center gyms

This summer, Laramie Plains Civic Center was a recipient of the Albany County Recreation Board’s funding for LED light upgrades to the North and South Gyms.

The Albany County Recreation Board’s (ACRB) primary source of funding is the one-mill recreation levy imposed by the Albany County School Board. The ACRB awards funding for proposals for recreation projects, which may include facilities, construction, programs, equipment, operations, and maintenance to the City of Laramie, Albany County, the Town of Rock River, and Albany County School District No. 1.

LPCC will receive $15,000, which will be leveraged with Rocky Mountain Power’s energy efficiency upgrade incentives to support the addition of LED fixtures. These upgrades will impact the facilities’ quality of light, lower energy use by 60%, and maximize incentives from Rocky Mountain Power. This project is estimated to be completed early in the new year.

LPCC continues to explore funding resources to complete these upgrades building-wide.
