But the worst is over. <br /> <br />Progress was made also in our redevelopment efforts. CMS. <br />Inc. celebrated their grand opening as the first new <br />building in Brighton Corporate Park. Beisswengers opened <br />their new store and already need more space. Brightondale <br />opened and Golden Pond broke ground to provide new housing <br />opportunities. The list goes on--Bramante1s By The Lake <br />is fully leased. Harstad Companies have begun building <br />new homes in the Innsbruck area. Seminary Estates has <br />only a few lots left. Numerous businesses have expanded <br />and homeowners conti nue to remodel and upgrade thei r <br />homes. <br /> <br />A 11 of these acti viti es refl ect a healthy and vi brant <br />attitude that is thriving in our community. Yes. we have <br />room for improvements; but. I believe the survey conducted <br />by Decision Resources in August accurately reported a key <br />advantage we enjoy in New Brighton. The survey shows that <br />many of us came because of conveni ence. But we stay <br />because of the people and community spirit that continues <br />to grow in the warm afterglow of our Centennial <br />Celebration. <br /> <br />Community Spirit! It is most evident in the hard work and <br />enj oyment we see at the Annual Fi sh i ng Contest. the <br />Stockyard Days events. the Antique Car Run and the Squash <br />Festival. The 1988 Squash Festival was the best that I <br />can remember. The 2nd Annual Antique Car Run was more fun <br />than the first--but not as good as the 3rd promises to be. <br />Our links to Brighton. England were reinforced by visits <br />from the Honorable Mayor of Brighton. Councillor Patricia <br />Hawkes. Reciprocal visits were made by the Sendens and <br />by Gary Hoonsbeen, our first representative in the London <br />to Brighton Run. Plans are being made now for a return <br />tour to Brighton in April_ <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Special Order of Business <br /> <br />Mayor Benke's State of the <br />City Address <br /> <br />~ <br />
