The Newbridge HOA Board continues to coordinate with Dominion on swapping out our current streetlights for LED fixtures. Current lights will be replaced like-for-like; LED lights with shading to focus light downwards. Dominion has yet to provide us a scheduled installation date, stating that they have many installations delayed due to supply chain issues.
