Summit Communities Advance DarkSky Initiatives: Key Insights Ahead.

Elected officials in Breckenridge and Frisco are responding to a local initiative advocating for DarkSky certification, a move aimed at reducing light pollution to benefit environmental and human health. Breckenridge has commenced its certification process and plans to introduce new outdoor lighting policies this summer, while Frisco has been selected for the Colorado Dark Sky Certification program and is in the early stages of its application. The initiative will involve creating a steering committee to prepare for certification, with guidance from local mentor Mark Laurin. Both towns are focusing on regulations that promote the use of downward-facing lights and appropriate brightness levels without requiring a complete shutdown of outdoor lighting. The DarkSky movement emphasizes the positive impacts on human health and wildlife, advocating for practices that respect natural light and circadian rhythms. As the efforts continue, the towns aim to engage surrounding unincorporated areas and other organizations to foster broader compliance and awareness.
