The Gaslight District is located in the southern portion of downtown Manchester. Revitalization of this neighborhood may be catalyzed by investment in commuter rail service connecting Manchester to Boston via the proposed Capitol Corridor line. Complementing the structures with historic and culture value, new buildings could accommodate a mix of uses at densities that transform the neighborhood into a “transit-ready” station area in advance of service. Both residential and nonresidential uses would be integrated into the development pattern through infill and redevelopment.

Other enhancements include improvements to the public realm. Specifically, a formal green space as the foreground to the SNHU Arena would open up the view to the building from the Granite Street Bridge vantage point, which is important to the creation of a memorable entrance into downtown from the south side. Visibility of such landmarks also helps orient visitors and aids navigation into and through downtown.
