    The Planning Board is currently in the process of preparing a new Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Milford. The Planning Board has established a seven-member Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee consisting of three Planning Board members, one Selectman, one Conservation Commission member, one Finance Committee member, and the Town Administrator.

    The Planning Board has also retained UMass-Amherst as planning consultants to assist in the planning process. Watch this Web page for more postings of information regarding the plan in the near future.
