Economic development in Milford, Connecticut, has increased the size of the city and added both opportunities and some congestion, which has created controversy. ==In the late Twenteith century== In the post-World War II period, Milford—like many other New England towns—underwent significant suburbanization. Interstate 95 was routed through town and the Milford section was completed by 1960. "The biggest change to Milford was I-95 with seven exits and entrances," Robert B. Gregory, Milford's community development director, said in a July 2006 article in The Hartford Courant.〔() Friends Hope Film Shows Buildup's Negative Effect by Adrian Brune, The Hartford Courant, July 2, 2006 Hartford Courant Web site accessed July 2, 2006〕 In the 1960s and '70s, Milford developed further with the construction of the Westfield Connecticut Post Mall, one of the state's largest shopping malls, and the extensive commercial development of the town's stretch of the Boston Post Road. The city also became host to several headquarters of multinational corporations during the same period. Milford is home to the operational headquarters of the Subway fast-food corporation. The town also hosted the U.S. headquarters of the BIC Corporation, which has in recent years moved most of its operation outside of the city. In December 2005, the Mountain Development Corporation bought many of BIC's former manufacturing facilities, and is in the process of finding tenants. Smaller national corporations call the city home as well, including Total Mortgage Services and Orchid Medical. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Economic development of Milford, Connecticut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
