The City of Milford is in the process of converting the historic Platt Orchard site on the North Street side of Eisenhower Park into an event venue that will serve for showcasing the arts and be tied in with a nearby golf course.
Mayor Benjamin Blake spoke about the project in his Aug. 1 State of the City address, and again in his weekly “Minute with the Mayor” video.
“This is just one more cool initiative that the City of Milford is pursuing,” Blake said in the video, which also featured George J. Amato Jr., who is on the Golf Course Commission, and Dolores Hannon, a member of the Milford Arts Council.
“It’s a win-win situation for the golf course, and it’s also a win-win situation for the City of Milford,” Amato said.
“This will be absolutely beautiful, and will encourage the arts even furthermore,” Hannon said.
