BRIGHTON, Colo. — Brighton residents fear a planned development project will hurt a historic farm that's considered a staple in the community.
A website advocating to"Save Palizzi Farm" said there will be an"installation of an underground water drainage system to support a planned new housing development." It continued to say the construction would render the farm"permanently un-farmable" and would"end the livelihoods of everyone employed" there.
Those with the city anticipate the construction will be completed after the harvest season and before the 2025 planting season. “I have never known and I don't want to know a Brighton without Palizzi Farms," said Brighton City Councilmember Matt Johnston."I asked ,"Will this disrupt the farming?" And I was told no multiple times, that there will be no farming disruption... This is a public hearing, where not just the written word matters, but because we were gaveled into a public hearing, the spoken word matters as much.
