The City's Comprehensive Plan is being updated. See this page for downloads of the existing 2008 Plan. Please click here for information on the upcoming 2019 Plan.

A comprehensive Plan serves many purposes. Initially it serves as a unified advisory document to the City Council and the Planning Commission about the issues and concerns of the community regarding land use, transportation and the general future of the City.

The Comprehensive Plan is also an official statement about the future of the City. Readers will find The Dover Plan: From the People - For the People is a positive plan that supports Dover's continued growth and development but is also tempered by the people's demand that Dover keep its small town feel and high quality living and natural environment.
