In the coming weeks, a two-person Arcadis inspection team will conduct in-home service line inspections at select Manchester residences. Team members will carry identification badges and wear Arcadis-branded safety vests. If your property is selected for inspection, you will receive a door hanger notice in advance. Please call 860-647-6050 with any questions or concerns.
Due to staffing shortages in the Building Inspection Division, permit processing and inspection scheduling may be delayed. To monitor your permit status, visit the Online Permit Portal or call 860-647-3052. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Three-part series, which follows the history of the original settlers on the land where Manchester is today. The March 17 lecture focuses on pre-European contact, the initial contact with the Europeans, and the Pequot War. The second, on April 14, focuses on the 40 years between the Pequot War and King Philip’s War, when the Narragansetts and Mohegans battled over control of the former Pequot land. The third, on May 19, is about King Philip’s War and its devastating consequences for the tribes of Southern New England, including our local tribe, the Podunks. Come to one, two, or three of the illustrated talks. Manchester attorney Steve Penny has conducted research on this topic, and has spoken throughout the area.
