Public Forum 2/10/21 Opens in new windowIt’s an important point in the process when the committee will be considering which designs to progress to the schematic design stage and ask for your input and feedback. The two designs (one new build/ one renovate) that are put forward will be the two which the town will vote on when this project goes to Town Meeting.

The Dover Community Center Building Committee hosted its Screenshot (11) Opens in new windowsecond community forum on Tuesday, December 1 at 7pm via Zoom. One option was chosen by the Committee. This selection is important as the architects will design both the New & Renovation schemes based on the selected option at its projected cost. For each option the architects will present rooms of varying sizes that will host a wide variety of activities. The key to a successful design will be flexible, multi-use space. Your opinions and suggestions will help the Committee with its decisions. This is all about building a community center for the entire Dover Community.
