Notice to Milford Center Residents
I have been asked recently to give an “Update of the Village” announcement to let residents know some of the happenings around the Village. I will try to do just that now.

In the past 6 months we have welcomed On The Road to town. The food is great and the owners are very nice. In the upcoming months we will have a new drive-thru coffee shop / bakery (The Village Grind) on E. State St. We will also see a new gun shop (Whitestone Ordnance) on W. State St. across from the firehouse.

There are several upcoming projects scheduled for this year. The East Side Storm Sewer project that is funded by the 2025 CDBG Grant is tentatively scheduled for this summer. The Sand Filter project at the water treatment plant is tentatively scheduled for this fall. And several paving projects have been approved and should begin in the next few weeks.

The Labor Day Festival committee has been hard at work and this year’s festival should be a huge success. Come out and enjoy us on Labor Day weekend to celebrate America 250.

Last but not least, the Village is currently working with a grant writer to submit for the 2026 NRG Grant. This grant has the potential of approximately $800,000.00 is funding. If we are lucky enough to receive this grant, there are numerous projects that it will fund over the next couple of years. More information on this grant will be posted at a later date.
