City Advances Dark-Sky Initiative

Boulder City is undergoing a significant transformation in its street lighting as part of a concerted effort to reduce light pollution and promote stargazing for residents and visitors. In 2023, the city secured a $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Authority to retrofit all municipal lights with energy-efficient fixtures designed to minimize light pollution. As of January, approximately 63% of the city’s 2,150 street lights have been replaced, with the project aiming for completion by 2028. The initiative not only promises to lower energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions but also seeks to enhance the local ecosystem and boost dark sky recreation opportunities. City officials express optimism about the potential for Boulder City to achieve dark-sky certification, which aligns with the mission of Dark Sky International to protect nighttime environments. However, obtaining this recognition involves a lengthy process requiring a comprehensive lighting management plan.
