BACKGROUND
With the City Council’s direction to become a recreation destination, the Parks and Recreation Department solicited for bids to design the property located at the intersection of Southern Street and Tower Road into a sports complex. This is the first step in building another sports complex in the City of Brighton. This project will consist of full design, construction documents and construction oversight of the site as well as all the other necessary site improvements to the surrounding area that are adjacent to the 34-acre parcel.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient appropriation exists for the project.
