Milford COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan

The awarded grant of $50,000 will fund a COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan to revitalize Milford’s local economy and enhance community well-being. This grant and the associated study will benefit the households of Milford. The Town of Milford hereby commits to providing local matching funds equivalent to not less than 10% of the total project cost. With a grant amount of $50,000, Milford pledges a local match not to exceed $10,000 from the Town’s ARPA fund, resulting in a total project cost of $60,000. Approximately 54.3% of the grant funds, or $27,150, will be used to benefit low-to-moderate income individuals.

To select the firm for the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan, Milford used a Qualification Based Selection process. The procurement process is complete, and the town is negotiating details with the selected firm.

An additional public hearing will be held at the conclusion of the Milford COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan’s planning process, providing another opportunity for public input.
