Buying Back the Block with Gleam Electrical and Lighting Design

At Gleam Electrical and Lighting Design, we believe lighting can do more than beautify—it can build up communities. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Buying Back the Block—a movement to restore and revitalize neighborhoods through thoughtful design, safe electrical infrastructure, and outdoor lighting that fosters pride and connection.
