Dover’s mayor expects an increase in home construction over the next few years, with a couple of developments set to start soon.
Mayor Shane Gunnoe says the Schaeffler manufacturing facility coming to the north end of town with 650 new jobs has drawn the interest of developers.
Gunnoe says a developer is seeking zoning approval from Dover Township to build 22 townhomes on East Iron Avenue a block from Union Hospital.
“The project, it’s in the planning stages but if it goes forward, the city would serve that site with utilities.”
In addition, several individual homes are under construction on Dover’s east side.
The 30-home Crimson Cove development in the northeast recently received FEMA’s approval, so work should start soon.
