Village Pursuing Grant for Lanterns with Security Cameras
Village approves resolution to pursue $23,500 grant for lanterns at Monday's meeting.
The Port Jefferson Village Board on Monday approved a resolution to pursue a grant for five lanterns with security cameras that would be installed at 'hot spots' throughout the village.
After approving the resolution, the process now begins to apply and wait to see if they are approved for a grant through the Suffolk County Downtown Revitalization Program.
The Village is applying for $23,500 under the program. The cost of each lantern is $4,700 and Village will leverage $13,700 in funding for installation, CPU and Wi-Fi connectivity. The total project cost is $37,200.
The five hot spots are:
1. Behind Village Hall/near Children’s Park and Tennis Courts.
2. Main Street adjacent to alley connecting to rear parking lot.
3. Intersection of Main Street and West Broadway.
4. E. Main St. adjacent to alley connecting Trader’s Cove shopping area parking.
5. Along newly constructed pedestrian walkway in ‘Baker’s Alley’ connecting Trader’s Cove rear parking lot to W. Broadway and E. Main Street.
