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

Dover mayor tells veterans 'our gratitude is more than just words'
DOVER — Dover Mayor Dennis Shanahan spoke directly to those who served the military in attendance at the city's Veterans Day ceremony Wednesday, Nov. 11, and all veterans. "On behalf of our city, we thank you," he said. "Thank you for your service, thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for the burden that you accepted on the behalf of others, on behalf of us. Our obligation today is to recognize the people who have served our country and to make sure our gratitude is more than just words." The ceremony opened with colors presented by the Dover High School's Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, and a performance of the national anthem by the DHS band. An opening prayer was led by the Rev. Alan Tremblay of Parish of the Assumption in Dover. Shanahan said Dover in 2023 celebrated the 400th anniversary of European settlement, 2026 is the 250th year of the nation's independence, and in September this year the city recognized the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
