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.

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
