New Milford has been awarded a $20,000 Historic Preservation Enhancement Grant from the state Department of Economic and Community Development Historic Preservation Office.  The money will be used to hire an independent third-party consultant to conduct an adaptive reuse study for 50 East Street.  Mayor Pete Bass hopes to determine the potential future uses and associated renovation costs for the building and property.  The study will include a complete review of local economic development, enhancement and preservation needs. It will include opportunity for public input and participation during the process. The project is expected to begin in mid-winter 2019 and last a few months.
