Help Shape the Future of Housing in Milford!
The Town of Milford wants to hear from you! Join us for an interactive community event on Tuesday, May 28 from 5:00–7:00 PM at Milford Town Hall (3rd Floor Auditorium) to share your thoughts on the future of housing in our community.
We will be asking:
• What types of housing does Milford need?
• Where should it go?
• How can we plan for it thoughtfully?
• What types of housing does Milford need?
• Where should it go?
• How can we plan for it thoughtfully?
This event is part of a broader initiative funded by a Housing Opportunity Planning (HOP) Grant from New Hampshire Housing. The goal is to assess current and future housing needs, and ensure Milford’s future housing options are diverse and reflective of our community’s character. Come learn about the different types of housing being considered in Milford, the fiscal impact of different types of housing, and how housing choices will shape our community
Your input will help guide local decision-making and will inform the writing of the Master Plan which is currently underway—don’t miss this opportunity to get involved! For more information the project, please visit: https://www.milford.nh.gov/hopgrant
Upcoming Meetings:

What is a Master Plan?
It is a road map and policy document built on the community’s shared vision and goals for the future. It also sets forth a recommended set of strategies and actions to achieve the stated vision over the next ten to twenty years. This community-created document ensures that future decisions made by our town officials, community partners, and developers are aligned with the community’s priorities. In New Hampshire, master planning falls under the purview of the Planning Board, is guided by state law (NH RSA 674), and is required as the foundation for local zoning.

Purpose of the Master Plan:
- Understanding the existing conditions of the community, and identifying what issues the community needs to plan for and address over the next ten to twenty years.
- Identifying focus areas and actions that guide the future land use pattern: such as zoning and regulatory changes, natural resource protection initiatives, and town infrastructure investments that help achieve the community’s vision.
- Addressing contemporary issues identified by the community such as housing supply, population growth, land conservation, and climate change.
Master Plan History
In 2023, The Town of Milford, through the Milford Planning Board, collaborated with the Nashua Regional Planning Commission to conduct a community outreach effort and identify key values, challenges and opportunities facing the town. This effort is known as Envision Milford and served as an avenue for education on the master planning process, to identify key issues and topic areas facing the town, and to generate support for the future development of a town-wide master plan. The findings from this outreach effort have been summarized below and resulted in key goals and action items that will be incorporated into the development of an updated town-wide master Plan.
