The deadline for businesses to submit an application for expanded outdoor dining this summer in downtown Manchester is this Friday, April 29, at noon.
For the third summer in a row, Manchester will join communities across New Hampshire in offering the outdoor dining option to businesses struggling in the pandemic — this time at a cost to local businesses.
Businesses interested in participating in the program this summer are being charged $420 per parking space for the six-month season, which runs from May 1 through Oct. 31.
