The Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce and Milford Living are excited to present the inaugural Best of Milford Awards, honoring and celebrating the businesses that make up the fabric of our beloved community. During a year that has been particularly hard on independent businesses, we gratefully salute every Milford business nominated and encourage our readers to continue to support the establishments that make Milford home.
Over the course of the last four months, Milford residents nominated favorite businesses in dozens of categories. During the 30 days of voting that followed, area businesses encouraged their patrons to vote for them and thousands cast their selections for local favorites. “We all have our favorites—the special burger, the best book store, the place that treats us like family. The Best of Milford is an opportunity for us to recognize the many hidden gems our community has to offer and to support what is great about Milford,” says Pam Staneski, Executive Director of the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce. Behold the results: a dynamic mix of well-established local landmarks and newer up-and-coming icons.
Please join us in celebrating the winners of the first annual Best of Milford Awards.
