Risky Development Proposed for St. Gabriel's School (1 Tudor Rd.)

⚠️Calling all Milford Residents...

STOP the Over Development proposed at the former St. Gabriel's School⚠️

Robert Smith, Metro Star, wants to level the remaining wooded area and build a massive high rise apartment complex.  Offering 175 units at 1 Tudor Rd.  

175 units will add over 500 people to this tiny dense neighborhood! 

It will devastate the remaining wildlife that calls it HOME!

Dear St. Gabriel's Parish,
Your Flock...your community needs you! The vitality of Milford is at stake and you hold all the cards!!
Milford has long offered a unique serenity, almost untouched from the clutches of urban burdens.
It is our understanding that Saint Raphael Parish is in dire need of funds and must sell the property to satisfy its monetary obligations. However, as the archdiocese of the people of Milford will you allow their indebtedness to negatively impact the lives of its congregation? While the parish will feel a sense of relief from the burden of their debt, an entire neighborhood will suffer for many years to come.
We ask that you put Milford's future at the forefront of any decision.
If the almighty dollar wins Milford is sure to suffer devastating consequences!
Any development identical or even comparable to what Metro Star is proposing will be detrimental to your people. It will place an unimaginable stress upon those who have loved you for so long!
Metro Star and developers like them are only going to manipulate and capitalize on the sanctity of your land...our land!
Your community needs your protection more now than ever. Please do not leave Milford holding this bag!!
We beg that you place the community that loves you so very much ahead of any other temptation!

     BAND together, STAND together, UNITE and BE HEARD‼️

    1. The small neighborhood Metro Star is asking to build a high rise multi family complex is absolutely not appropriate to accommodate the demands of 500 more residents to it's streets?

    2. This type of population increase is bound to bring with it overcrowding issues.

    3. Overcrowding is bound to bring with it a grave depreciation in the surrounding Property Values

    4. Home owners purchased in good faith near a lovely church and school assuming they would not lose their value.  Your voters and residence deserve protecting.

    5. The infrastructure of the area and Milford as a whole will not be able to handle such a population increase.  The services that keep us safe, healthy and clean are visually maximized.

    IE: Police, Fire, Ambulance, Health Dept, School systems, Teachers, after school programs, lunch programs, Roads, traffic, parking, Garbage services, water flow, power and the inevitable LOSS of POWER,, etc…

    6. This type of development would require expansion of roads (especially Bridgeport Ave), installation and increased amount of modern traffic lights, replacement of weathered utility poles, etc.

    7. We cannot continue to treat our wildlife as some invaluable thing to evict whenever there is a dollar to be made.  They will not survive!!

    IE: What type of wildlife is present? Are any endangered? What will be the long term effects of this wildlife loss?

    8. We absolutely ARE covering too much soft, spongy, absorbent ground!

    Irene and Sandy showed that our flood water has no opportunity to escape. These seemingly small and unrelated approvals to cover more and more absorbent ground are already adding up, shouting out warnings to us!  Our town officials need to act more conservative for the future of our City.

    9. Are more rental units needed at all?  How many comparable rental units are currently unoccupied in Milford?

    10. Robert Smith, Metro Star owner,  as of now only faced the sewer commissioners.  He calmed their concerns over water strain by promising to install "Low water usage appliances" at his already existing properties as well as this new massive unit.  We DEMAND to KNOW HOW Milford officials would even begin to monitor the replacement of these "low GPD appliances" in the future?

    11. This development benefits only Robert Smith/Metro Star Co. LLC!  They will reap MILLIONS while our City fails!

    We need you to take a stand!  Show some backbone!

    Thank you for listening and serving our community, not those seeking to capitalize on us!
