Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA

Our renovation of the town common in Manchester-by-the-Sea is nearly complete.

The new landscape provides a welcoming stopping place for residents and visitors, complements the town’s historic structures, and improves universal access to the town hall. By replacing asphalt with permeable pavers and reducing the total paved area, it also helps protect the waters of Sawmill Creek and Manchester Harbor.

At the fall Town Meeting, citizens of Manchester-by-the-Sea approved plans to make the Town Common greener and more welcoming. The design by Wolf Landscape Architecture includes realigned walks, ADA-responsive access to the Town Hall’s front door, new benches and lighting, and native shade trees. The landscape’s restoration will be complete in 2020.
