Former New York Ranger receives approval to open Milford buisness

By -

If you have any old photos of the Harrison's building please email them to rscinto@nhregister.com We are trying to put together a photo slideshow of the building's history.

The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve the site plan review for the building for Colony Grill.

The crowd that filled the city hall meeting room cheered immediately after the plan had passed and celebrated during the middle of the meeting for a few minutes.

The project still needs to obtain building permits before construction begins. Owners hope to begin construction in the fall and hope to finish by early 2013, said Paul Coniglio, co-owner of Colony Grill Development.

    Good luck wit the building department. Known throughout the state as one of the worst. Just 3 years ago I waited 31 days for approval to build a simple garage/apartment addition that should have taken about 45 minutes to review. Hey it's not their money that's being wasted while your mother-in-law has to stay in a hotel so what do they care?

Milford's Unsolved Murders

By NJM -
After the June 11 arrest of Luis A. Rodriguez for the 2001 murder of Walnut Beach resident Kelsey Monahon, I got curious about other long-term unsolved homicides in Milford. So, I began digging through the New Haven Register's archives; I looked at all the murders in Milford that we have on record (dating back to the 1940s) and I came up with a list of 9* unfortunate souls whose murders are unsolved. Here are all the ones I could find in chronological order: -Peter Spinelli (1996) -Unidentified male remains (1994) -Unidentified male remains (1992) -Anna E. Hiltz (1983)** -Constance Roberts (1982)  -Blasé Miserendino (1978) -Gary Steadman (1977) -Kenneth Matteson (1975) -Charles McCoy (1968) Sometimes, homicides take a long, long time to solve. And sometimes, after a while, people come out of the woodwork with some scrap of evidence or memory that helps close a decades-old crime. I'm still working on the story, but I wanted to reach out to the Milf

Milford reporter Rich Scinto needs your help for a story he is working on today. At an Economic Development Commission meeting this morning it was revealed that the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site sold for more than $5 million. But the $5 million question concerns what will be going there. As Milford residents what do you think should occupy the former theater site on Cherry Street? Post your comments here or email Rich at rscinto@newhavenregister.com Here is what we have thus far.
