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. Details of Dover 47 Chestnut St. project An aerial view of a site plan filed with the city depicts the building to include a restaurant with outdoor seating, a club room, fitness, co-working space and a courtyard closest to the Cochecho River.

This map shows how Susan Collins’ electoral firewall crumbled in York County and other parts of Maine

In her previous five races for the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins had never lost York County. Her ability to overperform other Republicans in the southernmost part of Maine’s left-leaning 1st Congressional District served as an electoral firewall of sorts, helping power Collins to a string of victories over her 30-year Senate career.

New project at Lilac City Grille site in Rochester hinges on tax relief

ROCHESTER — A new restaurant and eight apartments could fill a downtown void at 103 North Main St. , where the shuttered Lilac City Grille was demolished earlier this year. Norman Vetter, the property owner, is seeking 79-E community revitalization tax relief from the city for the project, which calls for the inclusion of below-market-rate apartments. The proposal received a first reading before the City Council at its Nov. 10 meeting seeking nine years of tax relief, and was advanced to a Dec. 1 public hearing with the council. New Hampshire's 79-E incentive gives developers temporary property tax relief in exchange for developing blighted or historic properties that might otherwise stay vacant. Developers pay taxes based on what the property's assessed value was before the development is built for a negotiated number of years. When the 79-E expires, the owner starts paying taxes based on the property's new increased assessed value. What can residents expect to see at former Lilac City Grille site? Vetter's proposal, according to documents submitted to the city, calls for a 3,000-square-foot restaurant space on the first floor and eight two-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors. The proposal states an unknown number of apartments

Kittery raises non-resident fees at Fort Foster; vets get free entry

KITTERY, Maine — Non-resident fees at Fort Foster Park will be increased for the 2027 season to help offset the town’s rising park maintenance costs. After nearly 106,000 admissions to the 88-acre park this year, the town will increase the non-resident seasonal pass to $125 a year, up from the existing $100 seasonal rate. “Serving this volume of visitors increases the town’s costs for operating and maintaining park machinery, purchasing fuel, and performing routine maintenance,” Town Manager Amie Hendrix wrote in a memorandum to the Town Council. "The proposed increase in the non-resident season pass fee would help offset these usage-related expenses." Councilors unanimously supported the Parks Commission-endorsed fee amendment Monday, Nov. 9. Veterans will get free admission to Fort Foster In addition, veterans will now be offered free daily admission to Fort Foster after showing a valid veteran identification card or a driver’s license showing their status. “Currently you do not provide a complimentary daily admission for veterans, and so to acknowledge our veterans’ service, that was recommended by the Parks Commission,” Hendrix said to the Town Council. The amended fees will take effect Jan. 1. Seasonal and day passes to Fort Foster are required for entry between May

Portsmouth vs. Winnacunnet football: Seacoast coaches break down Division I quarterfinal

HAMPTON — When Portsmouth/Oyster River and Winnacunnet meet Friday night in the NHIAA Division I football quarterfinals, two opposing coaches who have seen both teams believe the game could be decided where playoff football often is — at the line of scrimmage. Spaulding head coach Andy Jackson and Dover head coach Eric Cumba both pointed to Winnacunnet’s size and strength up front, while Cumba noted Portsmouth possesses plenty of physicality of its own. More: Winnacunnet vs. Portsmouth: What to know about Division I football quarterfinal “I think with both teams, the thing that kind of jumps off the page initially ... is just how good they are up front on both sides,” Cumba said. “They’re physical, they’re big, they’re strong. ... Obviously, that goes a long way in high school football.” Dover and Spaulding lost to both Winnacunnet and Portsmouth in the regular season, while Exeter lost to both in the regular season, and saw its season come to an end last Friday with a 21-0 loss to Portsmouth in the first round of the Division I playoffs. “They’re physical. They’re very physical,” Exeter head coach Bill Ball said after last Friday's loss. “Like I said, they’re a good football

'Grit and tenacity': Somersworth offensive line paving the way in Division III playoffs

SOMERSWORTH — In last Saturday's 50-21 Division III quarterfinal playoff win over Laconia , the Somersworth High School football team had three backs all run for more than 100 yards, and had a total of 444 yards in the game. Somersworth head coach Jeremy Lambert pointed to the guys on the offensive line, and said that the success of the running game starts with grit and tenacity. And more standout performances will be needed in Saturday's semifinal game against No. 3 Monadnock. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Somersworth. "We need our line to continue to be able to keep their heads up, and play with some grit and tenacity, that's what it takes to play on the line with your hand in the dirt," Lambert said. "Those guys need to keep doing what they're doing there. They're going to move some bodies and they have the ability to do that." Seniors Collin Patterson and Brian Bjorkman have been at it for four years, and they are paired with a trio of sophomores in Diante Adams, Cole Garrett and Evan Utgard. Bjorkman, at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds, is at left tackle; Patterson, at 6-foot-2, 240, is at left guard; Garrett,
