DOVER A public environmental review of plans to replace the General Sullivan Bridge between Dover and Newington will be held May 13.
In the meantime, as part of that process, officials in Newington are considering whether to acquire an historic but decrepit train depot on Bloody Point from the state.
The environmental hearing on Thursday, May 13, at 6 p.m. is a public meeting via Zoom video conference to discuss the proposed replacement and the potential environmental impact. The General Sullivan Bridge was used for bicyclists and pedestrians in its final years before being closed in 2018 due to its deteriorating condition.
In addition to the May 13 hearing, the public can comment in writing until June 7.
NEWINGTON When Eva Ilg, owner of craft shop Locally Handmade, opened her first business in The Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, she had no immediate expansion plans. When the management team of Mall at Fox Run contacted her last year about opening a second location, she was hesitant but ultimately made a decision that would change the course of her business.
In opening her second location in Newington, she saw tremendous organic growth within the mall. Of the two locations, Ilg said that the location within the Mall at Fox Run quickly outpaced the other in terms of foot traffic sales.
