Capital Project Report Card

The Capital Project Dashboard allows residents to view progress on major capital projects budgeted for the current year. Capital projects are permanent additions to or expansions of the City's assets, including design, construction, and purchase of land, buildings, and facilities. The City of Brighton utilizes separate funds to budget and track capital projects dependent on their function. These include the Capital Improvement Fund, Parks Capital Improvement Fund, Lottery Fund, Cemetery Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, and Storm Drainage Fund.
