Main Road, Southold)
Please attend the public
hearing on July 27th and support the adoption of the Town of
Southold's proposal for a sustainable local law commonly known as "dark skies"
legislation.
Dark skies legislation
embodies the principles of sustainability by preserving the local environment,
protecting the views of our precious nighttime sky, improving safety by
reducing dangerous glare on roadways, helping to reduce light intrusion from
neighboring properties and importantly reduces the use of energy consumption.

The proposed local law
strictly pertains to new construction and substantial renovations and has
demonstrated conservation value as municipalities -- and even states across the
U.S. -- have successfully adopted dark skies legislation. The legislation works
to address excessive, poorly aimed and poorly placed lighting fixtures.
