The board of supervisors received the latest draft of the Milford Township Comprehensive Plan. They distributed it to the zoning board and planning board. The planning board requested it be passed along to county planning. The supervisors voted to allow it to be sent to county planning.
ARPA funds
The supervisors discussed $48,000 in unallocated federal ARPA funds. They allocated $6,500 for air conditioning in Town Hall and $3,000 for staff training. The board said it would consider using some of the remainder on the aforementioned bridge project.
Land use
A proposed amendment for Section 602.2 of the zoning ordinance will be sent to county planning for review. The amendment is intended to make it easier for small businesses to gain conditional use permits from the planning board and variances from the zoning board.
Other matters
