Here are the top stories in Manchester today:

1. The New Hampshire Attorney's General said they have new evidence in the investigation of the Harmony Montgomery case. The seven-year-old Manchester girl who was been missing since October 2019, "has been the subject of an extensive, multi-month search investigation." Investigators narrowed the window of Harmony Montgomery's disappearance "to 12 days in 2019" — a time when the family was living in cars in Manchester. A $144,000 reward is being offered for information about her disappearance. Anyone who may have information is asked to call the Manchester Police Department's 24-hour tip line dedicated to her case at 603-203-6060. (Manchester Patch)

Offices impacted included the City Clerk, Ordinance Violations, Finance Department, Economic Development and the Mayor’s Office. Departments in the West Wing, including Tax Collector, Assessor's Office, City Solicitor, Human Resources and Planning & Community Development, remained open.
