Harlingen moves toward dark sky lighting rules for homes and businesses
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Harlingen is moving towards implementing dark sky lighting regulations for homes and businesses after city commissioners approved a resolution of intent. This initiative aims to reduce light pollution by requiring new constructions and future light replacements to use fixtures that direct light downwards. District 2 Commissioner Daniel Nemecio Lopez proposed the idea, emphasizing its benefits for the community and wildlife. Changes will be phased in gradually as existing lights are replaced, allowing homeowners and businesses to transition at their own pace. The next step involves drafting an ordinance, which will be discussed at the upcoming commissioner meeting.
