Manchester City Council approves encroachment agreement and Terrell House amendment

The Manchester City Council's Committee on Lands and Buildings made significant strides during their meeting on March 18, 2025, approving key agreements that will impact local infrastructure and community services.

The committee began by approving an encroachment agreement for Merrimack Street, allowing for necessary improvements in the area. This motion, put forth by Alderman Long and seconded by Alderman Vincent, received unanimous support after confirmation from the city solicitor that the agreement had been thoroughly reviewed and posed no issues.

In another important decision, the council approved an amendment to the use of premises agreement for the Terrell House, a facility operated in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. This amendment extends the agreement through June 30, 2027, ensuring continued support for essential services provided at the facility. Alderman Long moved for approval, with Alderman Vincent again providing the second, and the motion passed swiftly with all in favor.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a productive session focused on enhancing community resources and infrastructure. These decisions are expected to foster improved services and support for Manchester residents in the coming years.
