Manchester's ratable base decreased from $3.9 billion to $3.2 billion following reassessments
Officials said that the high cost of rebuilding from Hurricane Sandy could drive coastal residents inland, potentially helping bolster the township's decreased ratable base should they decide to call Manchester home.
