Cave Creek Council Rejects DarkSky International Designation

In a recent vote, the Cave Creek Town Council decided against applying for DarkSky International designation, which aims to promote and preserve dark skies in communities. The council voted 5-2 after a lengthy meeting where residents expressed differing opinions on the benefits of such recognition. Supporters argued that it would enhance the town’s appeal for visitors and help maintain the existing dark skies, while opponents noted potential drawbacks, such as the need for nighttime lighting for local wildlife. Mayor Bob Morris acknowledged previous efforts to push for the designation, but some council members believed current lighting regulations were sufficient, emphasizing that external oversight was unnecessary. Following the vote, the meeting room quickly emptied, reflecting the strong emotions surrounding the issue.
