The corner of Granite and West streets is almost unrecognizable compared to this time last year.
Gone are the dilapidated multi-family facades that attracted trash, graffiti and occasional criminal behavior. In their place are four completely renovated properties that herald the coming resurgence of the West Granite neighborhood.
To celebrate, NeighborWorks Greater Manchester will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for neighborhood residents and other stakeholders at 4 p.m., Thursday, June 9, in front of 414 Granite St. Afterwards, everyone is invited to tour the refurbished properties and enjoy a free barbecue meal.
