107 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 9 DOVER TOWNSHI P ongoing priority in Dover, where the donation of another 22 acres will be used for the development of ball fields and other outdoor activities. A recently completed water and sewer upgrade in one of Dover’s oldest developments is one of many infrastructure improvements happening throughout the community. Moving residents who are currently on the borough sewer system onto a newly installed township system is also on the agenda for an area north of the borough which Oswalt reports will allow for expansion into an area which is zoned as a business park. Along with wastewater and water improvements, Dover also has 13 bridge projects underway, a $2.5 million investment. Where road work is concerned, the township is working with the developer of Dover Highlands, an apartment complex, and the Dover Area School District to expand a road which goes past the newly built high school and into the complex. This will result in an improved intersection and a pathway around the square in the borough. The community is also updating their fire department dorm facilities, a project that Oswalt says is overdue. With so much to offer already, Dover Township remains committed to growth and opportunity, building on the qualities that make it an ideal place to live, work and play. “We have great businesses in Dover that you can have a successful career with, live in Dover, and retire in Dover,” asserts Caden. As for what might come next, he offers, “I’d love to see Dover become that place to go, because it has businesses that are attracting other people outside of the area. As a focus, we just need to continue what we’re already doing, to not only keep the people that are in Dover here, but also to attract others.”
