Brighton is one step closer to the nine-year goal of developing a truck stop along Highway 85.

Councilors voted unanimously to approve the nal plat for the Loves Travel Stop development and surrounding residential uses on Brighton’s northwestern edge. e nearly 53-acre parcel is located at the southwest corner of State Highway 85 and Baseline Road/ 168th Avenue — just east of the South Platte River and west of Highway 85.

For Councilor Tom Green, a series of road improvements planned as part of the project are some of the biggest selling points.
