3/21/14 - The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce held its first Livingston Regional Investment Awards Ceremony Friday, presenting awards for recent investment projects by six businesses and government agencies. About 200 state and local government officials and business leaders attended the luncheon and awards ceremony at Cleary University. The awards were presented to: Vail Resorts for its $10 million expansion and renovation effort at Mt. Brighton, Brighton Mall for its renovation project, state and local entities who spearheaded the new I-96-Latson Road interchange, Spencer J. Hardy Livingston County Airport for the new terminal and other upgrades, the new John E. Labelle Livingston County Public Safety Complex and WellBridge of Brighton for its new rehabilitation and nursing facility in Genoa Township. Mike Finney, the president and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, was the guest speaker at the ceremony. He tells WHMI Livingston County is positioned in a strategic geographic location to reap the benefits of the stateâs improving economy. Finney congratulated county officials for providing the collaborative climate and initiative that encourages economic growth. He says that progressive attitude has resulted in a number of MEDC grants to provide a catalyst for that growth. Chamber President and CEO Pam McConeghy tells WHMI how she got the idea of having an honors event for those who have invested substantially in Livingston County. McConeghy says the next major chamber event will be an informational session on the new I-96/US-23 Interchange project at the American Spirit Center in Brighton Township in May.
