The National Sports Commission’s ‘Light it up Campaign’ will continue as it has acquired a number of lights for community grounds across the country.
According to a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI), the lights are expected to boost the night-time usage of the community grounds and multi-purpose centres.
Director of Sport Christopher Jones, during an interview with DPI, said that $6.5M was spent to acquire the 110 lights that will be distributed to various grounds across the country. Jones said that the prior to the purchasing of the lights, the National Sports Commission reached out to the various municipalities in a collaborative effort to acquire the lights. It was pointed out by the Sports Director that the only municipality that responded was the municipality of Lethem, Region Nine. Jones said that of the $6.5M, $2M was contributed by the Lethem Municipality.
