PURPOSE:
This purpose of this item is for Brighton City Council Members to learn about the Downtown Development Authority formation process as presented by Progressive Urban Management Associates (P.U.M.A.) and the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority (BURA). Representatives from P.U.M.A and BURA will be present to share details and answer questions from Council Members.
BACKGROUND:
BURA’s Core Downtown Urban Renewal Area will be sunsetting in 2027, which prompted the need to identify an alternative funding mechanism dedicated to the ongoing vitality of downtown Brighton. BURA’s Executive Director and staff have been working with P.U.M.A since the firm was hired as its consultant in 2024. Progress is being completed in phases and has included input and participation from various stakeholders. Meeting with Brighton City Council Members is also included in the planning phase.
