Dover · Morris County

Business & Shopping

Dover's commercial landscape is unusually varied for a 2.68-square-mile town. Historic Blackwell Street supports independent retailers, markets, personal services and professional offices, while East Blackwell Street, the station area, Route 46 and Mount Pleasant Avenue add healthcare, automotive, home-improvement and everyday service businesses.

This guide focuses on businesses physically located in Dover and organizes them by the way people actually use the town—downtown shopping, neighborhood services, professional needs and the larger commercial corridors.

Where Dover Does Business

Blackwell Street Historic District

The traditional downtown core combines historic storefronts with specialty retail, jewelry, flowers, markets, salons, professional offices, restaurants and community services. Exterior changes in the historic district may require local historic review.

East Blackwell Street

East of the historic core, the business district continues with markets, healthcare, child care, printing, repair, personal services and neighborhood-oriented businesses.

Station & South Downtown

Dover Station, South Morris Street, Sussex Street and nearby blocks support commuter-oriented services, finance, insurance, tax preparation and downtown offices within walking distance of rail and bus connections.

Route 46 & Mount Pleasant

The larger-road corridors add auto parts and repair, home improvement, banking, healthcare and other businesses that depend more heavily on vehicle access and off-street parking.

Bassett Highway

Bassett Highway is a major redevelopment focus. Current planning seeks to reconnect this underused corridor with downtown through mixed-use development, public spaces, improved streetscape and better pedestrian connections.

Downtown Preservation & Storefront Projects

Part of Dover's central business district is within the Blackwell Street Historic District. The Town's Historic Preservation Commission reviews certain exterior changes so new signs, façades and building work can respect the district's historic character.

Check Before Exterior WorkStorefront renovations, signage, windows, façades and other exterior changes may involve historic-preservation or zoning review depending on the property and scope.
Different Downtown ZonesDover's downtown zoning is divided into Station Area, Blackwell Street Historic District, East Blackwell Business District and South Downtown districts, each with its own development framework.
Signage MattersBusiness owners should verify sign size, placement, lighting and permit requirements before ordering or installing a permanent sign.
Adaptive ReuseDover's older commercial buildings create opportunities for retail, office, service and mixed-use reuse, but renovations can involve code, fire, accessibility and historic-review requirements.

Bassett Highway: A Commercial Corridor in Transition

Bassett Highway is one of Dover's most important redevelopment areas. The Town's current planning work is aimed at reconnecting the corridor with the downtown through new mixed-use activity, public spaces, pedestrian improvements and a stronger relationship to the Rockaway River.

71 Bassett Highway proposal: Current 2026 Planning Board materials describe a proposal for three mixed-use buildings totaling 640 residential units with approximately 11,733 square feet of commercial/retail space, plus roads, parking, drainage, landscaping and other site improvements. This is a development proposal and should not be treated as completed construction.
Riverwalk & Public RealmPlanning concepts include improved river access, pedestrian connections, public spaces and streetscape improvements.
Mixed-Use DirectionSeveral redevelopment subdistricts are intended to support combinations of housing, commercial activity and community-oriented space.
109 Bassett HighwaySeparate 2026 Planning Board materials include a proposal for a baseball training and batting-cage facility in an existing building.
Business OpportunityAs redevelopment advances, the corridor could create new storefront, service, recreation and professional-space opportunities—but specific projects should be judged by their current approval and construction status.
