Congratulations to Moab Achieving Dark Sky Designation!

After years of effort, Moab is now an International Dark Sky Community, as designated by DarkSky International.

To earn its International Dark Sky designation, Moab updated its outdoor lighting code in 2019 and refined it in 2023. The city has been transitioning its buildings and streetlights to energy-saving, downward-facing LED fixtures, wrote Church. It piloted streetlights in 2021 and decorative lights on Main Street in 2024. These new lights will be slightly brighter and more directed than existing outdated lighting. A full conversion is expected to be completed in 2025.

This adds to the concentration of Dark Sky places in Utah.
