Manchester selectmen resolve Pewter and Things access plan
Manchester selectmen approved a traffic scheme allowing two curb cuts on Route 7 and one exit onto Hillvale for Pewter and Things and the new appliance store, after residents opposed an earlier two access point plan. The board also reviewed an upcoming Act 250 hearing for Ellsworth Jannicky next to Wilsons, and adopted a town recreation area policy while planning an advertising banner policy for major clubs. The panel discussed sewer extensions on Highland Avenue and Elm Street, and granted James Capobianco a liquor license for a wine and cheese shop at Jannicky's Route 7 complex.
