Unfortunately, it has been difficult to move the Dover Greenway project forward in Dover due to the MBTA and the Town of Dover being unable to agree to lease terms, and…
Dear Friends, Wow, what an amazing few years it’s been! We are humbled by the endurance you, the supporters, have shown during the “voting series” the rail trail has gone through.
