Town Breaks Ground on Improvements to St. James Lot Access

Last Updated 7/20/2022Posted in DMSSD News


The Town of Manchester has begun the construction of the new stairwell at the corner of Park and Main.  This is phase one of a project announced in the summer of 2021 that will improve the connection between our parking lots and our downtown businesses.

This new connection to the St. James Lot will provide a direct line-of-site, promoting the use of this parking lot. This is a convenient location to park when accessing businesses on the west side of Main Street where on-street parking is limited.

The St. James lot provides FREE all-day parking, no permit required. However, this lot is occasionally closed due to church events.
