New Haven Register Reporter Brian McCready, one of the editors of this community blog, has launched a new blog he has dubbed "Milford Matters."

Why "Milford Matters"?

Brian is doing this blog because Milford does matter. The city matters to its residents, to the region, to the New Haven Register and to Brian.

While this blog serves as a community-driven and contributed way to share news, Brian's new blog will be more of an insider's look at what is going on in Milford, what he is covering and what people are talking about.

It's a place where he hopes people will comment and converse, where he can offer and gather ideas, where he can share items that might not otherwise get shared in a practical way. He also can take questions there and try to get you answers.

So, keep the community news coming here and we recommend that if you are interested in Milford, stop by "Milford Matters" too and stay awhile. The conversation is just getting started and the hope is that you will be a part of it.
