Milford Alive! was formed to celebrate, educate, and support local business.
It's our belief that small local businesses dont get enough recognition, and in many cases get no reconition. We aim to change that!
For October we present the "Over the Hump" Award. The premise is this: A large percentage of businesses fail in the first 3 years. Another chunk fail between 3 and 5 years. If you've made it past 5 years in business, some would say you are "over the hump" and you business might actually survive and become successful! Congratulations are in order.
The award criteria are as follows:
1. Business should have been established etween 2005 and 2013, between 5 and 15 years as an established business.
2. Be a Milford based business. Having locations outside Milford is okay but the business' primary operating location should be Milford
These recognitions are provided through a partnership with Milford Alive! and Milford Economic & Community Development. Honorable Mayor Benjamin G Blake will be handing out the awards.
Awardees are encouraged to bring a guest. Guests could be a mentor, supporter, or the owner of a business inspired or helped out in some significant way.
Food is provided for the awardees by Joey C's Restaurants and lunch for guests and attendees is generously sponsored by Liberty Bank.
