The controversial episode in Milford’s recent history began in 2007 when the mayor announced plans to preserve a prime piece of open space overlooking Gulf Pond through a multi-faceted purchase plan. Known as Cadley Farm, the property lies adjacent to Gulf Pond and offers views of a vast salt marsh. The spot also is a popular spot for viewing ospreys.Archive: First mayoral debate

Milford’s four mayoral candidates discussed economic development, taxes, city services and other local issues at the first candidates forum of the political season in September.
Traditionally a low-key political presentation hosted by the Plymouth Men’s Club, this year’s forum featured an undercurrent of political jabs, though on the surface, all four candidates remained courteous to each other.
