Plans Announced For Former CT Limo Site

MILFORD, CT — The Milford Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved plans for a new truck dealership at the former Connecticut Limousine site on Old Gate Lane.

Bridge-Haven Ford Truck Sales Inc. applied to renovate the dilapidated 230 Old Gate Lane site. The building would shrink 3,000 square feet, and the company plans to make substantial improvements to the front landscaping area.

The Gabrielli family is affiliated with Bridge-Haven Ford Truck Sales. They have several truck dealerships in the tri-state area, including an existing dealership at 4010 Old Gate Lane and a recently-acquired dealership on Woodmont Road, Gabrielli General Manager Chris Stadler said at the meeting.

“The proposal will significantly enhance the existing conditions, including the building, while increasing positive economic activity in Milford,” Stadler said.

James Vig, the owner of next door property, 254 Old Gate Lane, spoke in favor of the application.

“I think it would help beautify the street and remove an eyesore from the city,” he said.
