On behalf of the Mayor, City Council, employees, and volunteers of the City of Dover, I welcome you to our website! We are committed to providing our residents, businesses, and visitors with a great place in which to live, work, and visit as evidenced by our Vision, Mission, and Critical Success Factors.
Under our City Council/City Manager form of government, the City Council is responsible for appointing the City Manager. I was appointed to the position of City Manager in November 2001. Prior to that, I worked for ten years as the City?s Director of Planning and Inspections. My family and I have lived in Dover for over 15 years. We have enjoyed every minute of it.
The City Manager's office is the management leader for all City Manager departments and provides administrative support to all departments.
The City Manager's office coordinates City government activities; receives and responds to citizens? concerns, inquiries, and requests; monitors capital Investments projects; provides administrative support to City Council and Council committees; and coordinates City legal work through the City Solicitor. The City Manager?s office is also responsible for coordinating, preparing, and publishing the City's Capital Investments Plan, the annual budget and the biennial revenue manual.
Dover is located in central Delaware in Kent County and is the capital of Delaware--approximately 90 miles south of Philadelphia, PA, and 90 miles east of Washington, D.C. While our population is just over half of that of Wilmington, DE, Dover encompasses a larger area than any other city on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula.
Dover is home to Dover Air Force Base, which includes a fleet of 36 C-5 Galaxy transport airplanes and constitutes the largest aerial military port facility on the east coast; Dover International Speedway; Schwartz Center for the Arts; the Dover Mall; and numerous specialty stores downtown. Dover is also home to many historic buildings, museums, and parks.
Thank your visiting our website. I hope you will enjoy exploring it and all it has to offer.
Tony DePrima, City Manager
