2021 was a banner year for development and economic activity in Brighton.
A record number of building permits was granted.
The 304 permits issued are the most since 2004 when 255 were doled out.
The estimated cost of construction activity in Brighton last year was more than $124.4 million.
That includes 119 new dwellings, a multi-million dollar retirement home and several new businesses.
Mayor Brian Ostrander says they’ve always known that Brighton was a great place to live and now they’re seeing the types of employment investment that will help serve the community into the future.
