                                             NARRATIVE



               The City of Dover was awarded supplemental NH Coastal Program Funds to
               construct two picnic shelters and amenities at the Cochecho Riverwalk. The
               NH Coastal Program provided to the City of Dover matching funds during
               the 1994 - 1995 budget cycle to establish the Cochecho Riverw alk, located at

               Henry Law Park.



               The picnic shelters were identified as one of many elements by the Cochecho
               Riverwalk Master Plan. The shelter design was donated by Lassel Architects
               of South Berwick, Maine. The structures are post and beam with cedar
               shingle roofs. All who viewed the structures have been impressed by them.

                                         PROJECT SUMMARY



               Two new picnic shelters were constructed at the Cochecho Riverwalk. Picnic
               tables,, trash containers, handicap accessible walkways and charcoal grills are
               included. A water line was installed to provide water at the shelters as well.


               The project was most fortunate to receive labor from International
               Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. The union operates an
               apprenticeship program in Dover, and incorporated the shelters into their
               teaching program.

                                                         INTERIM REPORT
                                                        DECEMBER 31,1994


                         Several tasks which were partially completed during the summer were finished this Fall.
                 The electrical conduit system which will supply power to the lighting system has been
                 completed. The fall planting consisted of trees supplied by Salmon Falls Nursery of South
                 Berwick, Maine. Five park benches were install     ed by Conversion Products Inc. of Rochester,
                 NH. Conversion Products specializes in the use of recycled products. The slats for the benches
                 are made from recycled plastic milk containers. An eighteen by twenty foot cantilevered scenic
                 overlook was constructed with volunteer labor and the materials were provided at cost by Star
                 Lumber Company of Somersworth.



                         The Washington Street sidewalk improvements have been substantially completed. The
                 new granite vertical curb, concrete sidewalk, underground electrical system and lights have been
                 installed. Additional electrical work needs to be completed before the lights are operational.
                 Plantings are scheduled to be done in the Spring to finish the project.


                         Fundraising has begun for Phase II of the riverwalk. GFS of Dover has donated $1,000;
                 First NH Bank has committed to donate $7,500; and the Dover Lions Club has committed up to
                 $4,000 to the project.

                        Inscribed bricks have gone on sale for individuals and families which will become a
                permanent part of the proposed brick plaza. Fund raising is being conducted by a joint City and

                Dover Chamber of Commerce Riverwalk Committee.



                       Mike Lassell of Lassell Architects in South Berwick, Maine, has donated their services to
                design the picnic shelters. The design will incorporate Victorian features reminiscent of the
                period when textile manufacturing in the mills dominated downtown Dover. The former
                Clarostat Building, a prominent feature on the Riverwalk was a part of that era.

                                                                       March 31, 1995

                    Additional planning has taken place during the period from January 1, to March 31, 1995. A
                    Landscaping subcommittee was formed in January to create a landscaping master plan for the
                    entire Riverwalk, and develop an implementation plan for the Spring of 1995. The landscaping
                    will concentrate on the area between the newly constructed sidewalk and the river. Work is
                    scheduled to begin in April with planting complete by Memorial Day weekend.

                    The picnic shelters have been designed and construction drawings completed. The construction
                    is scheduled to begin in April offsite with installation on-site planned for May.

                    The electricians are scheduled to install the lights along Henry Law Park in early April.

                    These are the remaining work tasks to complete the NH Coastal Grant along the Cochecho
                    Riverwalk.
