Due to what some Councillors call Brighton’s atrocious record of obtaining Federal and Provincial grants….the town was presented with the idea of hiring a professional “grant writer” at last night’s meeting. Councillor Criag Kerr believes there would be no cost to the municipality to hire such an individual…as recommended by the Economic Development Committee. Other Councillors argue the town’s lack of success in attracting grant money isn’t due to a lack of skill amongst current staff….but, rather the lack of appropriate shovel-ready projects. The recommendation was received by Council but no action will be taken on it.
