What the City is Doing 

LED lighting upgrades are in progress at the Rockville Senior Center and Twinbrook Community Recreation Center using grants from the Maryland Energy Administration’s Maryland Smart Energy Communities program, and rebates from Pepco’s Energy Savings for Business Program.

“The new lighting at TCRC has really improved the user experience for both residents and staff,” said Khali Isreal, supervisor of Twinbrook Community Recreation Center. “We are so happy and proud to be a part of this project that will save the city on electric bills, and help brighten everyone’s day!”
