Here's another reason to want to live in Dover NH. Once again Dover is leading the forefront in city projects to benefit their community. The City of Dover owns nearly 30 acres of land north of Henry Law Park, along the Cocheco River that has not been producing any tax revenues. By selling this land to a developer, it can be used for a mix of attractive commercial and residential uses and may generate $600,000-$900,000 / yr in revenue to the city. Buildings would include shops, restaurants , offices and apartments. Out of the parcel will remain a significant public space. The buildings, parking and landscaping will occupy less than 1/2 of the parcel. Details of the project will include a public boat launch and marina, on-site parking, a new vehicular bridge linking the downtown to the waterfront, creation of an open community amphitheater and a riverwalk. Plans and guidelines can be viewed at the city's website at http://www.ci.dover.nh.us/ at the bottom of the home page under "Important Information."
