📰 News we're reading

1. Find Manchester’s Cheapest Gas During Record Memorial Day Travel Weekend (patch.com) — Manchester drivers heading out for Memorial Day are facing elevated gas prices, but tools like GasBuddy can help them find cheaper fuel, including a low of $4.19 per gallon at Heavens Gas on Webster Street. The report explains how higher fuel costs are reshaping family travel plans nationwide, with many Granite Staters shortening trips, staying closer to home, or opting for staycations instead of canceling plans altogether.    

2. JetBlue Ending Service Out of Manchester, New Hampshire, Airport (koolam.com) — JetBlue will end all flights from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport on July 8, 2026, cutting popular routes like direct service to Orlando. With Spirit already gone, Manchester travelers will be left with only four major carriers and may need to rely more on Boston’s Logan Airport for affordable flights to warmer destinations.    

3. $2,800 a month: Eight stories and a balcony (nhbr.com) — New luxury apartments at Grand Central Suites in downtown Manchester are opening for July move-ins, with top units renting for $2,800 and benefiting from significant city and federal tax breaks. The long-delayed project, approved for 79-E relief by aldermen, remains controversial for its lack of affordability even as officials tout its impact on downtown vitality.    

4. Woman removed from Manchester aldermen meeting, charged with disorderly conduct (unionleader.com) — A public commenter was removed from Manchester’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting and charged with disorderly conduct after exceeding her time and continuing to criticize police accountability. Her remarks followed a rally over the fatal police shooting of Nickenley Turenne, as city leaders emphasized meeting rules and deferred to the state Attorney General’s ongoing investigation.    

5. Manchester Development Corporation Announces New and Reappointed Board Members (inklink.news) — Manchester’s economic future is in the spotlight as the Manchester Development Corporation adds two new members and reappoints several others to its board, strengthening expertise in housing, finance, and public policy. Local leaders from city government, banking, real estate, and the Greater Manchester Chamber will help guide long-term development and business growth across the city and region.
