Kevin Craig+FollowBrighton’s new hope for kids’ mental healthA $100 million donation from the Hale family is about to change the game for pediatric mental health care in Brighton. This massive gift will help build a new, state-of-the-art facility at Franciscan Children’s, nearly doubling the number of beds for kids who need urgent psychiatric support. With so many families facing long waits in ERs, this project feels like a lifeline for our community. The new center will offer everything from inpatient care to outdoor play spaces and even dental services. What do you think this means for local families and the future of mental health care? #Health #BodyHealth #BrightonMA00Share
Brad Caldwell+FollowBrighton’s retail hub gets a new ownerHarvard just sold the Brighton Mills Retail Plaza for $39 million, marking its first major land sale in Massachusetts in a decade. This spot—home to local favorites like Spring Shabu-Shabu, Star Market, and Petco—will now be run by Urban Edge Properties, a developer known for shopping centers. With so much Harvard-owned land in Allston-Brighton, this sale could signal a shift in how big institutions shape our neighborhoods. What do you think: should more of these large parcels be kept local, or is outside investment a good thing for Brighton’s future? #RealEstate #BrightonMA #Harvard00Share
