Mark Stebbins Community Center will bring children and family services to Manchester’s West Side
August 7th, 2025
It would have been easy to size up Jason Yergeau as just another business person attending a public event. The director of electric operations for Eversource was among the dozens of people who packed a tent on a rainy day in June to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Mark Stebbins Community Center.
The public-private partnership on Manchester’s West Side, a project several years in the making, will be a hub for nonprofit organizations that will provide services to children and their families in a part of the city that has long been neglected.
The 20,000-square-foot center is under construction at the Kelley Falls apartment complex. Yergeau grew up just a few houses away on Upland Street. His father grew up in the apartment complex, and his paternal grandfather worked for Manchester Housing Authority, which owns the land on which the center is being built.
“It’s just going to be a beacon of hope for the West Side, all the services within walking distance. It’s just amazing,” Yergeau said while members of the Stebbins family, organizers and dignitaries donned hard hats and grabbed shovels to pose for photos.
