PARTNERS | HEALTHY CITY  | HOW HEALTHY | VISION | SUMMIT | PRIORITIES | FUNCTIONS | CITY OF FALL RIVER

Community Planning and Housing: The quality of the physical structures (e.g. buildings, roads, water and sewer system, etc.) of any community determine many aspects of the health of a population. Housing stock and affordability is a major concern in Fall River. Upgrading and expanding the availability of recreational facilities is another. And, major structural alterations to Route 79 and the potential opening of access to the City's waterfront in the future constitute some of the selected priorities for action.

Priority Sub-Areas:

5, A)  Affordable housing
5, B)  Waterfront access
5, C)  Improvements in recreation facilities for youth and adults
