Here are the three options they are asking us to choose from:

• 13,000 sq ft at a projected total cost of $10m
• 15,000 sq ft at a projected total cost of $11.5m
• 18,000 sq ft at a total cost of $13m.  

More information on each option is in the presentation and in the recording of the public meeting, but this image below provides a summary of what each option gives the Community Center. Each space is multi-functional. Also provided is the square footage, budget and estimated tax impact per household, for each option.

The Committee has recommended Option #3, because:

Listened: Meets the desired activities of Dover as learned through public outreach and staff interviews

Community Forum

The Dover Community Center Building Committee hosted its second 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.
