DOVER — Building on the momentum of last year’s successful business meetings and downtown engagement efforts, the Town of Dover is proud to announceBusiness Meet & Greet #3, hosted by Mayor James P. Dodd, Town Council and the Dover Business Development Group.
Over the past year, the Town has worked closely with business owners, property owners, homeowners, and professional consultants to better understand the needs and opportunities within Dover’s downtown area. These efforts have included data-driven studies and analyses conducted with experienced professionals, including Town Planner Alex Dougherty, to evaluate economic conditions, property use, infrastructure, and long-term revitalization strategies.
As a result of this collaborative work, the Town has formally adopted the Special Improvement District (SID) as a strategic tool to strengthen downtown Dover. The SID is designed to enhance services, promote economic development, support local businesses, and improve the overall vibrancy and appearance of the downtown corridor.
Business Meet & Greet marks an important next step in this process. Business property owners, homeowners within the downtown area, and local business owners are being invited to learn more about:
- The details of the newly adopted SID (Ordinance attached)
- How stakeholders will be involved and represented
- The benefits the SID brings to the downtown community
- The next steps toward implementation and participation
This meeting is intended to foster open dialogue, answer questions, and ensure transparency as Dover moves forward with this important initiative.
