Raymond-based Jewett Construction is planning to build a restaurant and retail plaza on Sixth Street in Dover
According to Foster’s Daily Democrat, the 8,000-square-foot building at 383 Sixth St. would have three rental spaces, including one that could accommodate a restaurant with outdoor seating.
The restaurant is aimed at employees of Liberty Mutual, Measured Progress and other nearby businesses, Craig Jewett, president of Jewett Construction, told Foster’s.
Jewett told the newspaper he has not signed any tenants for the new retail plaza, and will not finalize any contracts until the planning board approves the project.
Sale of the two-acre parcel to Jewett is contingent on city Planning Board approval for the retail plaza.
