The Bancroft City Commission is currently reviewing a comprehensive lighting study made possible by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. This initiative, aimed at enhancing our city’s lighting infrastructure, has been completed and the commission is now carefully considering the recommendations.

As part of this ongoing effort, the city is already in the process of upgrading our streetlights. Crews will be working to replace the existing bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs, which will provide brighter, more sustainable lighting throughout Bancroft. This upgrade is a crucial first step and will be completed before any further decisions are made based on the study’s findings.
