Abby Park Restaurant

Vance Welch updated the Board on his plans for the restuarant in East Milton. He has renamed the restaurant from Stone Park to Abby Park. He showed some menus designed by the local firm, Jackrabbit Design. He is currently planning to open June 15th.

Milton Yacht Club

Members of the Milton Yacht Club also say down to inform the Board of what they are up to. They have made some capital improvements in the structure they maintain. The Milton Yacht Club is located in Lower Mills (see map below). Many residents may not be aware that Milton even has a yacht club; but it is a great group. They provide the money, time, and energy to maintain the town owned property and building. They make the space available to other town groups.The Framers Market sets up shop down there and the Milton Players use the building for rehearsal space. This is civic minded group that is an asset to the community. The next time errands take you to Lower Mills, take a moment to walk down to the water and enjoy the view.
