Broad based support from business and community leaders is essential to achieving and maintaining economic vitality. Brighton Economic Development Corporation relies on funding from the City of Brighton and commitments from our investors.

Because the City of Brighton covers a majority of our overhead items and staff salaries, all the financial support from investors goes directly to our program activities.

We have a number of major initiatives underway that may be of interest to you:

• BEST – A task force that focuses on ways economic development can support education
• Brighton: Take A Closer Look – An integrated marketing campaign designed to raise awareness throughout Metro Denver about opportunities here in Brighton
• Primary Job Retention, Expansion and Recruitment – A targeted approach to getting Brighton on the short list and to the finish line for corporate investment

Investors

Private investors contribute yearly to help finance and support Brighton EDC's proactive efforts to recruit quality companies that provide quality jobs for the citizens of Brighton.
