Pending pandemic rules, the City of Brighton is ready to bring residents back downtown for a year full of new and returning events.

This would help bars and restaurants that are being hindered by pandemic rules on capacity, when they are allowed to even be open.
A subcommittee, last year, worked on details of what such a district would look like in Brighton, and the regulations that would be applied, with help from the Brighton Police Department.
