Dover, NH
In Dover, the City is using 79-E to incentivize the rehabilitation of a vacant courthouse into new housing. The courthouse itself will be renovated, and a new four-story structure will be built there. The City negotiated for 20% of housing units to be deed-restricted Affordable Housing for low-income residents.
