During a recent government meeting in Milford, officials discussed pressing issues surrounding communication services in the area, particularly focusing on cell phone and internet connectivity challenges faced by residents. Several attendees highlighted specific locations, such as Market Basket and North River Road, where cell service is notably poor, prompting concerns about the reliability of mobile communications.

The conversation revealed that while internet services, particularly fiber optic options like Fidium, are available, many residents still struggle with access due to geographical limitations and the high costs associated with installation. The need for improved cell service was emphasized, with residents expressing frustration over the necessity of using boosters to enhance connectivity in their homes.

In addition to communication issues, the meeting also addressed community outreach efforts related to the Master Plan. Officials reported on recent events aimed at gathering public feedback, including a successful postcard distribution at the transfer station, where residents were encouraged to share their thoughts on local development. Plans for future outreach activities were discussed, including potential engagement during upcoming elections and community events.

The meeting concluded with a focus on historical and heritage discussions scheduled for the next gathering, where officials aim to involve local historical societies to explore Milford's archaeological interests and historical significance. The next meeting is set for September 24, where topics will include energy sustainability and community heritage.
