Brighton School Seeks $88M

The Brighton Area School District has asked the state for permission to put an $88 million bond issue on the May referendum.

School officials said if the district waits past May, it could be forced to trim the size of the borrowing due to declining property values.

The district needs the Michigan Department of Treasury’s approval to advance the proposal.

Proceeds would be used to pay for renovation of existing buildings as well as new athletic facilities and other projects.

The district is located between Detroit and Ann Arbor in Livingston County.
