RUMFORD — The Board of Selectmen on Thursday will continue discussing whether to pursue LED lighting for streetlights.

The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Rumford Falls Auditorium.

At the board’s Nov. 19 meeting, Selectman Jeff Sterling said he read that some towns are converting their streetlights to LED bulbs at a cost of $500. While the initial cost is high, the “return is good” because they last longer than regular bulbs, he said.

Other items on the agenda include:

* Discussion with town attorney on properties with code violations.

* Approval of liquor license application and special amusement permit for American Legion Post 24.

* Discussion of Phase 2 from SRL Architects for Town Office renovation.

* Executive session for Public Works Union negotiations.
