The News Project – Locals Testify Opposing Valvoline Proposal

Developers held a site walkthrough at 575 Depot Street on November 14, with traffic moving steadily behind them and demolition already approved by the town. The proposal calls for a Valvoline Instant Oil Change and a new retail space, a plan that has drawn significant community pushback. A group of local residents gathered during the visit to voice their concerns and advocate for alternative uses of the property. This segment captures the walkthrough, the proposed development, and the ongoing community response surrounding one of Manchester’s most debated projects.
