Local Council Reviews Dark Sky Regulations and Upgrades to Lighting Fixtures
During the Virgin Town Council meeting on September 25, 2025, members addressed the urgent need to upgrade street lighting and comply with dark sky regulations. The council discussed utilizing a $50,000 grant, designating $15,000 for ensuring existing lights meet dark sky standards. Emphasizing the importance of replacing outdated fixtures on municipal properties, they appointed a compliance officer to identify non-compliant lights and ensure adherence to regulations before enforcing them on the community. The potential for Virgin to pursue dark sky community certification was also a key topic, with optimism expressed about qualifying if current lighting issues are addressed. The meeting concluded with a consensus on conducting an audit of existing lighting and fostering community involvement for enhanced environmental standards.
