Glow SoBo holiday lighting budget and event scope
The committee discussed the December Glow SoBo kickoff event and reviewed commercial lighting proposals for municipal buildings. After reviewing venue capacity concerns at the Community House, the committee agreed to keep the opening night celebration simple with hot cider and cookies while focusing resources on exterior lights. The committee voted unanimously to approve a $10,456 contract budget for professional lighting installation on town buildings and trees.
- The lighting plan covers exterior holiday lights for the Town House, Southborough Library, and surrounding trees.
- Total vendor cost for the lighting contract is $10,456.
- The kickoff gathering will take place outdoors and inside Community House from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., with lights turning on at 7:00 p.m.
- Members opted against expensive indoor catering due to limited room capacity at Community House.
- A residential lighting tour via trolley was discussed as a possible ticketed add-on.
Outcome: Approved 6-0 to allocate $10,456 for the Glow SoBo professional lighting contract.
