In addition to being Delaware’s capital city, Dover is the beating heart of the mid-state economy. Second, only to Wilmington in population, almost 160,000 people reside in Dover’s metro area. While most the state’s government agencies are headquartered here, several large business and industrial concerns call the city home too – Kraft Foods and Procter & Gamble’s large manufacturing facilities among them. Dover has three colleges; Delaware State University, Wesley College, Delaware Technical Community College and two university satellite campuses; University of Delaware and Wilmington University. The mix of state agencies, established business presence and access to education make Dover an economic powerhouse in the state with a well-trained, highly skilled workforce.
Poised for growth, the city’s low tax burden, below average construction costs and affordable real estate give it a significant competitive advantage over its neighbors. An ever-improving quality of life for average residents make it an attractive place for people to live, play, and work. Dover is well-known in the region for its notable heritage, scenic landscape, farm-to-table cuisine, and outdoor recreation opportunities.
