Unlock the Block
Unlock the Block will serve as a catalyst to reduce vacancies in the Downtown Dover Business Improvement District by finding qualified tenants for vacant retail and commercial spaces along Loockerman Street and adjacent streets. The initiative will facilitate the redevelopment of downtown commercial properties and promote a vibrant commercial district by filling previously vacant spaces with retail, restaurants, professional services firms, and nonprofits organizations that will attract customers from the Dover area and beyond.
The Unlock the Block initiative invites property owners to learn about:
- How the initiative will help owners of vacant commercial properties along Loockerman Street and adjacent streets secure a qualified tenant with a long-term lease
- Possible incentives for redevelopment of commercial properties that are available from state, county, city and other sources
- Local building regulations including licensing and inspections
The
purpose of the plan and design
guidelines provides the City of
Dover with a design and planning
strategy to guide the development
around the new transit center site.
The plan also offers strategies to
improve all modes of transportation
throughout downtown, Dover.
