Two local insurance agencies formed a partnership officially on Thursday, July 2, to become Farmers Insurance. Keith Clonch, of Clonch Insurance Services and D.J. Justice, of Justice Insurance Agency have joined together to open Farmers Insurance, located 962 Lila Avenue, in Milford.

Clonch has chosen Milford as the location for his office due to his firm roots in the community.

“I have been a long standing public servant to the Milford area community,” said Clonch. “It only seems fitting that I locate my office in Milford where I can continue to lend a helping hand to my neighbors. I know that many people do not see their insurance agent as their friend, neighbor or the firefighter who drops everything at a moments notice to help them. I look to change that feeling for many of my friends and clients.”
