Port of Manchester Board of Commissioners

A three-member Port Commission governs the Port of Manchester. Each elected member serves a four-year term and any citizen living within the Port taxing district may run for office. While they are compensated a small meeting fee, each commissioner is motivated by their commitment to serve the community. The Commissioners oversee all aspects of the Port of Manchester operations, maintenance, long-term planning, and fiscal management.

The Port does not have full-time staff, but rather contracts essential services such as:

- Legal counsel
- Auditing and records retention
- Administration and accounting
- Facilities maintenance

Our Port Commissioners meet at the Manchester Library on the second Monday of each month at 6:00pm, unless otherwise posted. Attendance and participation from residents are strongly encouraged as these meetings are open to the public.
