Republic’s former company President, J.S. Kimmel, played a significant role in establishing the Handicapped Development Center, and we are pleased to continue to work with this great organization.

After upgrading office and work spaces from fluorescent lights, HDC has seen significant benefits and cost savings. New LED fixtures provide terrific quality of light for employees and participants. Complaints of headaches have decreased, “buzzing” from fluorescent lights was completely eliminated, and facilities are now cleaner and safer thanks to increased visibility.

The clean, high quality light is also saving the organization significantly on its energy bill each month, and HDC was able to capitalize on significant utility rebates. The cost of lights will be offset by savings in only a few yeahdc
