Town of Boston, NY – Lighting Fund
  The LED Conversion (Nov. 2019) led to consistent lower usage & thus decreased costs
  The town’s supply rates doubled in July 2022 but due to the lower usage, there was not
0.5%
  a huge impact over the 1-year contract. However a 2nd higher rate in July 2023 led to
  the town seeing costs similar to before the LED conversion
