MILFORD —  Members of the Milford Redevelopment Commission gathered for their regular monthly session Monday morning, March 13. Present was one of the commission’s two new members, John Beer, who replaced Charlotte Siegfried, who resigned at the end of 2022.

The other new member, Steven Baut, the appointee to the commission from the Wawasee school board, was not in attendance.

Alan Tio, chief executive officer of the Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation, provided an update on the residential TIF district the commission is seeking to create for the planned housing development in northeast Milford.

He reported on his ongoing conversations with Miller Brothers Builders, the Goshen company tasked with construction of the new homes. Tio also updated the commission on proposed new legislation at the Indiana Statehouse regarding the creation of TIF districts.

Milford Clerk-Treasurer and commission member Tricia Gall said the requisite TIF district approval meetings are progressing as planned. Commission representatives received approval from the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission March 1.

Appearances were planned with the Milford Town Council Monday and the Wawasee Community School Corporation board Tuesday. These meetings will precede the required public hearing, which must take place before the commission’s next meeting at 10 a.m. Monday, April 10.
