Those were among the findings of a facilities assessment presented to the City Council on Aug. 9.

This was just to close out this portion of the analysis so we can start the discussion on other things.”

Brighton’s first church, dating back to 1886, is located at 147 S. Main St. Councilors heard that renovating that building to make it more useful for special events could cost up to $300,000 while moving the city museum there could cost up to $600,000.
