Likes Milford and Milford Likes Business
Business
likes to be close to major roadways like I-95, the Merritt Parkway
and US 1. It likes to be on the main railroad line from Boston to
New York served by Amtrak and MetroNorth. Business needs to be close
to major airports like Bradley, JFK, TF Green, LaGuardia, Newark
and regional airports like Tweed New Haven and Sikorsky. Deep-water
ports are right next door in New Haven and Bridgeport.
That's why business likes Milford.
Milford
is big enough to provide key city services but small enough to have
a fair on the Green where you
can meet your neighbor. It has a downtown that bustles with entertainment,
culture, excitement, history, greenspace and waterways. A river
even runs through it. And that river becomes a harbor for 700 recreational
craft. And seventeen miles of shoreline on Long Island Sound offer
myriad boating and beach opportunities.
That's why business likes Milford.
If a retail operation comes to town it can choose between the comfy
downtown, a major shopping mall or one of many other shopping areas.
750,000 people are within easy driving distance. And Connecticut's
high per capita income provides money for shopping.
That's why retail business likes Milford.
Business
sees Class "A" office space tucked into verdant green
hills. Corporate parks that offer all the amenities necessary to
do business in today's wired world. A variety of other office space
is located throughout the community.
That's
why corporations like Subway, Wright Investor's Service and DataViz
like Milford.
Manufacturers
see successful giants like Bic and Schick but they also see 200
other thriving companies making products. A strong labor force supports
their efforts. Distribution centers see the seven exits and entrances
off I-95, as do sales and service operations.
That's why over twenty three hundred businesses call Milford home.
Milford extends a welcoming hand to business through its Economic
Development office. The department maintains strong ties with regional,
state and federal resources.
Business likes Milford and Milford likes business.
