7/19/14 - If all goes according to schedule, Brighton will be getting a brand-new swimming pool at the high school in a little over a year. The Board of Education, meeting in regular session Monday night, approved construction of a state-of-the-art pool, which will replace a pool so old that as parts have broken or needed repair in recent years, many of them are no longer manufactured and the parts had to be fashioned individually. Superintendent Greg Gray tells WHMI that construction of the new pool is already underway, with completion scheduled for August of 2015. Cost of the new pool itself is pegged at $9 million with an additional $5 million for the entryways and other aspects of the building. Gray says what is special about it is that the entire community will be able to take advantage of the facilities, regardless of age. He says that, like with other aspects of the bond issue such as the new tennis courts, the pool will serve to draw more people to use Brighton school facilities, which are for everybody to take advantage of, and not just students.
