DOVER — Mayor James P. Dodd and the Dover Town Council extended their gratitude to the Dover College Promise program and a group of hardworking Dover High School students for a recent beautification project that brought color and vibrancy to the heart of town.
Led by Dover College Promise Program Director Ed Lopez, the students designed and installed bright flower boxes along the bridge by Town Hall. The project, which combined creativity and teamwork, serves as a shining example of civic engagement by the next generation of community leaders.
“The energy and pride these students brought to this project is inspiring,” said Mayor Dodd. “They’ve made a real impact, and it’s a reminder of what can be achieved when young people invest in their community.”
The initiative was made possible through generous support and collaboration with the County College of Morris, Alexander’s Landscaping & Tree Care, Cutters Tree Service Inc., and the Dover Department of Public Works.
“This was truly a team effort,” said Lopez. “Our students gained hands-on experience in planning and beautification, while also giving something lasting to the community.”
The flower boxes now greet residents and visitors with a splash of color, reinforcing the message that when the community comes together, lasting change can bloom.
