About Open Hearing
Dover will be holding an Open Hearing, which is a public meeting for its residents before the Annual Town Meeting. The Open Hearing is an informal and informational meeting that provides an opportunity for residents to learn about the purpose behind each warrant article. The proponents of each article are present to explain their reasoning behind the proposals and answer any questions from the audience.
This meeting is an excellent opportunity for residents to learn more about their town government in an informal setting. As such, it offers an excellent chance to engage with the community and voice any concerns or questions about the proposed warrant articles.
Attending the Open Hearing is highly recommended for all Dover residents who want to stay informed and involved in their local government. It is a great way to learn about the issues that are important to the town and its residents and to make informed decisions during Town Meeting.
