Stoney Brook owner halts York property sale, eyes 168‑acre farm expansion
YORK, Maine — Tom Dunn said he was ready to sell the former Coastal Landscaping and Garden Center on Route 1 in York — a property he had purchased just a year earlier — due to a financial crisis beyond his control. In April 2026, he closed the renamed Stoney Brook Farm Store and Garden Center at that location, and the 941 U.S. Route 1 property went under contract to be sold . Dunn said he has since been made whole financially. While he cannot share details about what happened — a situation he said cost him millions — he noted that his main business, Stoney Brook Farm and Landscaping in South Berwick, is recovering and preparing for a big expansion. “It did force me to close the store, which was too bad,” Dunn said. “But everything happens for a reason, right?” Dunn has since taken the former garden center property off the market. He plans to keep the land and take some time to decide what to do with it next. Meanwhile, Dunn is selling his former Stoney Brook Farm Store property at 1680 US Route 1 , which he closed when he moved the store to the garden

Dover residents raise warming center safety fears. City responds.
DOVER — The Veterans Hall building at 156 Back River Road will serve as a temporary emergency cold-weather warming center for unhoused people starting Nov. 15. Many neighboring residents are raising security and safety concerns. The temporary location is needed due to construction delays for the new Strafford County warming center being built on County Farm Road. The new center won't be ready for the start of the 2026-2027 season, which runs from mid-November to mid-April. The shelter opens on extremely cold nights or in severe winter storms, as directed by Dover, Rochester and Somersworth leaders. Dec. 15 is the new estimated open date for the new facility, according to city officials and Strafford County Commission Chairman George Maglaras. Until then, if needed, the Veterans Hall building will be used, Dover city officials announced last week. This is a change after city officials had initially announced the McConnell Center cafeteria would be used as the temporary site. Concerns raised by residents around the Veterans Hall include drug use and improper disposal of needles, according to those who reached out to Foster's Daily Democrat and posted in social media. Neighbors also claimed the building isn't adequate for the use and raised
