The money was presented to the township through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and was secured by NEPA Alliance, Bauman said.

Robert Hivish Jr., Kingston Township assistant manager, said the township also received $2,500 from UGI Utilities for the LED bulb project. The difference for the $15,290 will come from the township’s general fund.

The LED bulbs will be installed in the township’s traffic signals at Route 309 and Carverton Road, Route 309 and Harris Hill Road, Route 309 and Franklin Street and Route 309 and Center Street. The traffic light at Carverton Road and Manor Drive was previously upgraded with LED bulbs.

Bauman said the upgrade will provide the township with $4,200 in energy and maintenance savings a year.
