West Dover officials voiced strong objections Thursday night to the District Environmental Commission preliminary approval for the Dover Fire District No. 1 sewage treatment plant. They warned that attached conditions would sap viability by delaying hookups and tying operation levels to highway projects. Joseph Lassiter said the rules could deter financing and questioned how developers would fund the local share given hookup limits and Act 250 filings.
