The City of Abbeville took another step forward on the Ramsie Baumgardner Street Lighting Upgrade at last night’s City Council meeting.
✔️ Contract awarded to Preferred Electric, Inc. (lowest bidder)
✔️ Purchase of new LED streetlights approved through Graybar using State contract pricing
This project will replace approximately 650 streetlights across the city, improving safety, visibility, and reliability, including along Highway 167.
We’re proud to continue moving this project forward as we work toward safer streets and a brighter Abbeville.
