Many in the Association felt very disappointed at being left out of the conversation, particularly after having just mended fences with the New York Streets area and National Development two months ago following a few years of separation.

Old Dover Hears from National Development on Beer Garden
Members of the Old Dover Neighborhood Association heard from National Development's Ted Tye on Tuesday night regarding the brewery concept that surprised many in the neighborhood when it was unveiled in the press last week. Being an alcohol license and a new use that will draw many customers, many in the Association had expected to be able to hear about it beforehand.

“Any type of new programming, and especially plans for a licensed alcohol establishment, are typically announced to the neighborhood for a vetting before going public. In this case, it appears that didn’t happen because the beer garden would be on state land, not City land, said Old Dover President Ken Smith.” Not checking in with the neighborhood groups that helped force his open space to happen and outlined recommended uses is a mistake. When will they learn that keeping in touch and keeping folks informed will get them further every time.
