Farmers Market Approved for Town Hall Site, Scioli's Hours Restored

1. A farmers market that will feature homemade breads, vegetables, fresh honey, cheeses and other produce and food products will begin Aug. 24 in the parking lot at Milford Town Hall. Selectmen gave an initial OK Monday. The group organizing the market will now contact farmers and encourage them to apply to sell their foods and veggies through a Board of Health process.

2. Scioli's Pizza Bar will have its hours restored as of Aug. 15.

The restaurant owner's attorney said Monday private security will be in place when the closing hours are restored to 1 a.m.
