The Town of Manchester is planning a $7.5 million revitalization of its downtown area, focused on improving safety, modernizing infrastructure, and making downtown more vibrant and accessible. While specific plans are not finalized, the project aims to reconfigure the road, a "road diet" to slow and smooth traffic, making the downtown safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The town is collaborating with the Manchester Road Race organizers to ensure the improvements support this major annual event.
