High School Manager Search Advances Amid License Hearings and Development Reviews
Milford boards moved forward on a major school construction project and set license-transfer hearings last week, with the high school committee ranking construction managers and the Select Board scheduling three alcohol-license hearings.
Milford High School Building Committee
The committee interviewed two construction management firms—Consigli and Shawmut—on June 24 and ranked their proposals. The ranking is part of the process to select a partner for the high school building project. No decision has been announced. The panel also received an update from the School Committee.
Select Board
The board held a meeting on June 29 that included public hearings on three license transfers. The hearings addressed:
- Transfer of an Innholder All Alcohol and Common Victualler License to 10 Milford Hospitality LLC for Sonesta Select at 10 Fortune Boulevard
- Transfer of a Package Store All Alcohol Beverages License to YUGD, LLC for Liquor Outlet of Milford
- Amendment of a Common Victualler Wine and Malt with Cordials License for 140 Bar & Grill, Inc. (140 Grill)
The Town Administrator also delivered a report on relocating Town Hall offices to the Water Department facility. Appointments and reappointments to the Cultural Council were scheduled.
Board of Assessors
During its June 23 meeting, the board planned to vote in executive session on tax abatements for two commercial properties: Linear Retail Milford, LLC (fiscal years 2023–2025) and Quarry Square Owner LLC (fiscal year 2025). The board also approved prior minutes and reviewed bills.
Metrowest Regional Transit Authority
The advisory board was set to vote on the final fiscal year 2027 budget and a redesign of the fixed route network. The same June 23 meeting included a performance evaluation of the administrator for fiscal year 2026, discussion of an optional bonus, and goals for the administrator and authority. An executive session on pending litigation strategy was also on the agenda.
