Happy Thanksgiving Milton

Hopefully – you are at a picnic, or at a friends house, or sitting at a table with neighbors and family – and not reading this.

But we do have a lot to be grateful for here: Central Ave is getting paved, there is a master plan in the works, East Milton is making progress, we have a elected officials and committee members who work tirelessly for our town, we are proud of our neighborhoods, and the town recently received a higher bond rating. We are not always in agreement but that’s ok. This is one ship, Milton, that we are sailing on together and it is moving forward. Thanks all.
