Welcome to Dover Township!
On behalf of the Board of Supervisors of Dover Township and all municipal employees, I am pleased to welcome you to our municipal website, which is a resource that we are constantly working to improve for the good of our residents. The website details the efforts of the Board of Supervisors, appointed officials, and Township personnel in the administration and operation of our infrastructure to provide you with quality services. Information on how those services are provided is detailed within the website. The website also provides useful information on the wonderful community you have chosen to live in and the community activities provided by Dover Township and other organizations that make this a community in which you can create lasting memories.
As Township Manager, it is my sincere hope that you find this website to be useful and informative in the development of your understanding of our local government, its essential services provided and the opportunities for engagement in the community.
Dover Township is a growing community with a hometown feel. It is a community where a full range of efficient municipal services are provided daily. The Board of Supervisors and I take great pride in providing high quality municipal services. Our staff works tirelessly to seize opportunities at grant funding in order to improve this community with as little need for tax increases as possible. Since 2016, we have been able to bring $4.29 million dollars in grant funds to the Dover Community for planning initiatives, public infrastructure improvements, pollution reduction, flood mitigation and recreation growth. We will continue this worthwhile endeavor to provide quality services for you. I hope you enjoy exploring our website and find it to be an informative description of our local government as we continue to build a future our community can take pride in.
We welcome you to our community.
Sincerely,
Laurel A. Oswalt, CPM
