The City of Manchester has faced a series of significant obstacles from the collapse of Amoskeag Manufacturing and the depression of the 1930’s, to the urban decay of the 1960’s and 1970’s to the serious recession of the early 1990’s. We now are on the edge of shedding our sleepy mill town image to become a major competitive force amongst New England cities.

Essential to the long-term survival and rebirth of the City and its neighborhoods is solid planning of both the development of the City and the planning of major capital expenditures. The Planning and Community Development team is passionate about encouraging good planning and making Manchester a first class City.

Hopefully our web page will give you a glimpse of what we do and how we can help you whether you are a developer looking to build in the City, or a resident looking to get involved in how decisions are made.

We welcome suggestions on both the web page and ways to make Manchester a better place.

Robert S. MacKenzie, AICP
Director of Planning & Community Development
