Manchester pool project faces inflation and delays
Manchester selectmen revisited bids for a new pool and bathhouse tied to a $304000 budget. Low bid 241000 exceeded the pool line by 30000, prompting talks on a separate septic system to save about 30000, with state approval needed before awarding a contract. The meeting also covered a travel information plaza plan and a 30 day trial one way street change on Cemetery Street.
