MILFORD With Dan Perkins Subaru having received zoning approval last year to build a new dealership at the site of the former Beard Concrete, a community group is gathering petition signatures to save some buildings at the Beard farm on nearby Washington Street.
The new Perkins Subaru will combine four lots at 143 and 163 Boston Post Road, and 97 and 109 Washington St.
The 97 Washington St. property includes a farmhouse and three barns, and is the “ancestral home” of the Beard Family, according to a Facebook page and an online petition seeking to preserve the buildings.
