Demolition in Dover to make way for 173 housing units, restaurant
DOVER — Demolition of the existing building at 47 Chestnut St. is moving forward, with plans for a mixed-use development on the parcel that will bring more than 170 residential units, plus a restaurant and commercial space. The project was originally approved by the city Planning Board in 2022, and an extension was approved in March 2025. The property was previously home to Family Dollar, a NH State Liquor Store and Iron Empire Gym, but has appeared vacant for years. The project received a demolition permit in early November. This movement follows a delay attributed to financing the project, Francis Bruton of the Bruton & Berube law firm wrote in a request for a project extension filed with the city in the spring of 2025.

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
