Welcome to Our Community!

Dear Residents and Visitors,

On behalf of the entire City of Winchester, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you all. Whether you are a longtime resident, a newcomer, or simply passing through, Winchester is honored to have you as part of our community.

As your City Manager, I am committed to fostering a vibrant environment where every voice is heard, and every person is valued. Our community prides itself on its rich history and being the home of beer cheese and Ale-8-One . From our great parks and bustling downtown to our exceptional schools and thriving local businesses, there is something here for everyone to enjoy and appreciate.

I encourage you to explore all that our city has to offer, get involved in community events, and take advantage of the numerous resources available to you. Together, we can continue to make our city a wonderful place to live, work, and play.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of Winchester. I look forward to working alongside each of you to build an even brighter future for our residents, families, and neighbors.

Warm regards,

Bruce T. Manley, Ed.D.
