Mayor Strub has made a difference

To the Editor:
The Mayor of Milford Borough for only a year and a half, Sean Strub has shown a remarkable affinity for the office.
At once passionate and inquisitive, Sean’s personal approach of transparency, collegiality, and consensus has enlarged discussion at council meetings, where he sits as a non-voting member (he can break ties).
His specific responsibility over the police department has already brought positive change:
Return to 24-hour coverage
Pedestrian patrols on every shift
Purchase of body cameras
Narcan training
A three-person Public Safety Committee
Further, Mayor Strub can count as accomplishments the following:
Created a shared Google calendar for Borough officials;
Coordinated discussion among diverse parties on the Tom Quick Monument dilemma;
Initiated thorough review of cable franchise with Blue Ridge;
Raised private funding for lighting improvements in Ann St. Park;
Coordinated government entities on funding strategy for repair of Brookhill Road (giving access to the river);
Initiated pursuit of funding of the Milford Enhancement Committee’s “Northern Gateway” project, at the end of Broad St.;
Encouraged commercial and residential investment in the Borough.
