The Great Western Sugar Company began construction in Brighton for its tenth Colorado beet sugar processing factory on Sept 15, 1916. The factory was often billed as the company’s showcase factory with state of the art equipment and beautiful landscaping. Only six Great Western Sugar Company factories remain.
