Township welcome you to Brighton on the Web. Brighton Township has shown a steady growth pattern during the past five years and with it a need for a more progressive style of communication. Our Web Site is designed to provide a continuing flow of information to our residents and encourage increased communication between the Township and the public that we serve.
Founded in 1816, Brighton Township is aresidential community blending a rural setting with a progressive attitude. A Township of the Second Class,it is governed by a board of three elected supervisors, each serving a six year term. The Board of Supervisors appoints a Township Manager who is charged with the day to day operations and fiscal management of the Township. The Board meets the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Building at 1300 Brighton Road. Any necessary change in this
schedule is advertised in the local legal ads and, special meetings are advertised as well. All meetings of the Board are open to the public with an
opportunity at each meeting for public comment. Further, any individual is encouraged to contact the Township offices with concerns or comments.
Residents are encouraged to present their views on Township matters on any of the means that are available, including letters, e-mail, telephone and in person.

Brighton Township Veterans Memorial
The Brighton Township Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 2000 as a result of the dedicated service
of a Veterans Memorial Committee and many others who contributed to the memorial design, site
preparation, solicitation of funds and dedication ceremony. To these people, we are all grateful.
You can still help with the continued maintenance of the monument. Brick pavers are still being sold to
raise funds for the memorial and its continued maintenance and site improvements. Bricks inscribed as
designated by the donor are available for $50. Remember, $40 of each brick purchased is tax
deductible. Contact the Township Office for more information (724-774-4800) or print the order form
available through this link.
