Manchester's Millyard Revitalization
Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city, built around the massive Amoskeag Mills complex on the Merrimack River — once the world's largest textile mill. The Millyard's conversion to technology offices, restaurants, and residential lofts has attracted young professionals who have chosen Manchester for its affordability relative to Boston and its improving urban character.
The Millyard and adjacent neighborhoods like the South End have the most active professional walking markets. Many Manchester residents commute to Boston on the Concord Coach or drive the 55 miles on I-93, spending long days away from home and creating midday walking demand.
