City manager celebrates MSC ribbon cutting as under budget milestone

Brighton City Council celebrated a significant milestone during their recent meeting on February 18, 2025, with the successful ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Municipal Services Center (MSC). City Manager Michael noted that this project marked his first from inception to completion, highlighting the collaborative efforts of city staff, particularly praising Deputy City Manager Mar Falkenberg and Assistant City Manager Karen for their vital roles in the project’s success.

The council members expressed their pride in the MSC, emphasizing its completion under budget, which is a notable achievement given the current economic challenges faced by local governments. Councilmember Pulaski remarked on the importance of this accomplishment, reinforcing the positive impact it has on the community.

In addition to the MSC celebration, the meeting included updates from various council members. Mayor Pro Tem shared progress from the Airport Coordinating Committee, noting the assignment of a dedicated staff member to enhance operational efficiency—a first in over two years. Councilmember Green expressed gratitude for the proclamation recognizing Career and Technical Education Month, which he plans to present to local educational boards.

Looking ahead, the council will hold a strategic planning session on February 27, followed by the State of the City address at the Armory, inviting community members to participate in these important discussions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to transparency and community engagement, with a focus on celebrating achievements while planning for future initiatives.
