Since December 2017, when I took office, I have made economic development one of my top priorities!  Since that time we have successfully filled many of the vacant buildings and have also seen new buildings and businesses being constructed as well ... over 2 dozen in all!  As your Mayor, I will continue to encourage people to invest in New Milford.  Please make sure to support our businesses as they help stabilize taxes in Town.  New businesses that have opened and/or are being constructed include:
