Manchester adopts tax stabilization policy to lure industry
Manchester selectmen unanimously approved a six step tax stabilization policy allowing contracts up to five years to attract light industry, with a July town meeting authorizing entry into deals. The measure aims to reduce unemployment while ensuring protections against overconcessions, and the town will review company financials with support from banks and government agencies. The board also discussed tax mapping and reappraisal, estimating $20,000 for mapping 2,000 parcels, and approved a $16,000 sewer extension study with Jennison Engineering, absorbing $1,184 extra costs for a federal funding bid.

Manchester Receives First Works Money From federal aid
Manchester town officials reported a first payment of 9817 dollars under Title II anti recessionary funds from the Public Works Bill. The money will be used for ongoing town functions and salaries and is to be spent within six months. The board discussed distribution by department ratios and noted future payments depend on unemployment rates. They also reviewed Planning Commission bylaw amendments on signs, parking, and fast food establishments, with a hearing set for December 20. The selectmen voted to remove downtown parking meters if legal, set a two hour limit with a 10 dollar fine, and suspended meter use for about a month to test free parking.
