Hudson Valley Bank’s Milford branch has opened at 54 Broad St., the bank’s first branch in New Haven County.

The branch will serve commercial and individual customers in the Milford and Orange areas, the bank said. Michael Leahy, a former branch manager in Norwalk for Webster Bank, will serve as the new branch’s manager.

The bank now has 32 branches in Westchester, Rockland, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, N.Y., and Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut.
Last week, the bank announced it had received approval to open a branch in Stratford later this year.
