Manahan joins Bath Housing after many years of running his woodworking and design business. He also serves on the board and Facilities Committee of the Center for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb.
“I did work alone for a long time, but so much of my satisfaction came from interacting with people, not just in a customer/manufacturer relationship, but in working as a team,” Manahan said in a prepared release from Bath Housing. “This position appealed to my communication experience and desire to be part of a team, and it appealed to my desire to really use the skills I’ve developed.”
Manahan will draw on his past experiences as a project manager for local artist John Bisbee and his work in yacht and cabinetry design.
As Bath Housing’s project for Congress Avenue Corridor moves along, with plans for 200 new residential units, Manahan is enthusiastic about helping care for its tenants.
Manahan is an Alna resident who lives in the home he built in 2004. In his free time, he hunts wild birds with his dogs.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
