Jim McGoey presented a proposal to the Commission to look into the lighting layout and replacement of street lighting fixtures in the Historic District. He suggested placing the historic looking light post that were removed from the Downtown Business District during the street project on Main Street in 2007, to appropriate locations in the Historic District.
