City of Dover Resilience Plan

The Citywide Resilience Plan for Dover aims to publicly establish a comprehensive work plan to enhance the city's resiliency across various areas. Key focus areas include advancing community-based initiatives like the Community Power program to provide affordable renewable energy, implementing municipal energy efficiency projects, developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and strengthening forest and ecosystem management. The plan also prioritizes land conservation through strategic acquisitions and the use of data-driven natural resource inventories to preserve agricultural land, wildlife habitats, and aquatic resources. The overall vision is to achieve economic benefits, environmental sustainability, and improved community well-being by reducing energy costs, increasing renewable energy access, and protecting vital natural assets.
