Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $1.98 million contract renewal with Spark Lighting, LLC to install and maintain solar lighting in Precinct 3 parks from July 2026 to June 2027. This contract brings clean energy lighting to parks across northwest Harris County, including areas like Cypress, Spring, Tomball, and Klein. Solar lighting helps our parks stay safe and accessible after dark while reducing electricity costs and environmental impact. The project exceeds diversity goals with 21% participation from minority and women-owned businesses, supporting local economic development. Well-lit parks mean families can enjoy evening activities, kids have safer places to play after school, and communities can host outdoor events year-round. Solar technology also makes our county more resilient during power outages. This investment shows Harris County's commitment to sustainable infrastructure and safe public spaces. The contract passed Commissioners Court on May 14, 2026, ensuring continued lighting maintenance and new installations. Residents can attend Commissioners Court meetings to learn about upcoming park improvements or contact Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey's office about specific park lighting needs in their neighborhoods. Parks with better lighting often see increased community use and reduced crime.
This contract pays for solar lights to be installed and kept up in Precinct 3 parks. If you live near a park in Cypress, Spring, Tomball, or Klein, this affects whether those parks have working lights.
