Village Center Visioning

pb meeting

Springdale Avenue, a main thoroughfare through Dover’s Village Center, is about to experience significant change due to the redevelopment of the Caryl Community Center, and future redevelopment projects at 10 Springdale Ave and potentially 14 Springdale Avenue. In anticipation of these changes, the Town seeks to create a cohesive vision for the Springdale Avenue streetscape which may potentially lead to a rezoning effort to ensure that any future development is complimentary to the character of the town and is of maximum benefit to residents.

The Planning Board will be assisted by Civic Space Collaborative to help Dover define the future of the Village Center.
