The city installs LED lights in many places, such as Victoria Public Library, city hall and four fire stations., and the lights icluding LED street light, LED down light, LED parking lot light and 85 traffic lights.

The drivers may don’t believe their eyes when they stop at Victoria city. If they look closely, they'll see the light - or lights, depending how you look at it.

Other upgrades included an energy management system, thermostats and control sensors at the library. The total cost of the project was $600,000 and was completely covered by a federal grant.

The city estimates that it will save $750,000 in 10 years. Chevron estimated that the city will save $80,000 per year over a period of 10-12 years.

Garza said that the savings realized from the project will put money back in the general fund that may go toward police, the fire department or the maintenance of public streets.
