About Us
The Historic Canal Dover Association, Inc. (HCDA,) is in the first phase of a campaign to become a Main Street Community through the successful Ohio Main Street Program, managed by Downtown Ohio, Inc.
By developing a partnership with city government, merchants, business owners, professionals, citizens and all those who carry "Dover Pride" in their hearts, our hope is to make our central business district a place where people can spend time with family and friends enjoying shopping, dining and entertainment.
Additionally, we want to create an atmosphere where merchants, businesses and professionals can thrive. HCDA plans to make Dover a destination that captures the attention of the tens-of-thousands of tourists that come to our area each year. Dover stands to gain tremendously from the money generated by increased tourism.
