An LED light display on Charlottetown's Shaw Building in November 2022. The P.E.I. government spent almost $218,000 on the LED floodlight display. - Carolyn Drake/SaltWire NetworkCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The façade of the Shaw Building in Charlottetown was fitted with outdoor LED flood lights last September at a cost of almost $218,000 to P.E.I. taxpayers.
The Shaw Building houses Premier Dennis King’s office and the majority of provincial government offices. Nighttime foot and vehicle traffic near the building is far smaller than other downtown locations such as the waterfront or the corner of Grafton and Queen streets. Transportation and Infrastructure senior communications representative April Gallant said the contract for the lighting work was publicly tendered. The bid from Ferro-Chemi-Crete Engineering was the least expensive.
Gallant said the LED light display has been used to “respond to requests from community groups and organizations for recognition, celebration or honouring of events.”
