Planning Board Meeting: October 20, 2026

The Milford Planning Board met on October 20, 2026. It approved the October 6 minutes. For the amended site plan at 42 Congress Street, the board discussed relocating residential and accessible parking; a motion to approve was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote. The board approved the 35 Mount Pleasant Street ADU plan subject to adding Coltec stormwater units to manage runoff. It also unanimously required an amended site plan for the 146 South Main Street car wash, including documentation of necessary utility easements for the revised power route. The board unanimously amended standard construction hours, extending the permitted end time to 6 p.m.; the transcript does not clearly capture the full hours range.

The town engineer and planner also provided updates. The school building committee’s preferred high-school alternative has been submitted to the state: it would build a new school, rehabilitate F Wing, and retain the pool, whose costs would be town-funded. The project’s maximum cap was reported as approximately $535 million, with a possible town-funded difference of $8–9 million associated with retaining the pool; a debt exclusion is anticipated for a future town meeting. State reimbursement was described as more than 70% of eligible costs, subject to state limits. No contract award or procurement vote was reported; Consigli was mentioned as a project participant. Zoning amendments concerning fitness centers, data centers, conservation provisions, and lot width were discussed in preparation for town meeting.
