Mike Milano makes history as the first person to open a Brightway Insurance Agency in New York
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (March 8, 2017) — Brightway Insurance continues to grow as its first location in the Empire State is slated to open next week. Veteran businessman and now Brightway Agency Owner, Mike Milano, will open the doors to Brightway, The Milano Agency on March 13.

"With the expertise and guidance that Brightway Insurance provides, I will be able to focus on helping my community insure their futures, while realizing my own dream of owning my own business," said Milano. "Buying insurance is a serious decision and one that should be made with the help of a trusted advisor who can explain coverage in a way that makes sense. I look forward to being that trusted advisor who offers a one-stop-shop for all your insurance needs."
