The $4 million Manchester Recovery and Treatment Center, at 293 Wilson St., will occupy the second and third floors of the former Hoitt Furniture building. Construction is expected to begin in March.

Projects receiving tax credits this year range from downtown revitalization and job creation efforts to increasing access to addiction recovery services, including four Manchester organizations – Dismas Home of NH, HOPE for NH Recovery, Families in Transition, and Manchester Police Athletic League.
