The Downtown Manchester Improvements Project (also known as the “Downtown Streetscape Project” or “Downtown for All”) is the next phase of the Town’s recent efforts to make Downtown and its adjacent neighborhoods more vibrant places. This project is currently in the planning stages.
This project would represent a significant investment in Downtown that would benefit the entire community; complete necessary, cyclical maintenance of the Main Street corridor; and address multiple community needs previously identified in various workshops and surveys spanning the past decade.
The Town recently received a portion of the funding needed through the State of Connecticut, Community Investment Fund 2030. Because the project is not fully funded, there is no construction start date scheduled at this time. In the coming months, there will be opportunities for the public to provide input and participate in the planning of this exciting opportunity.
