Reimagining Fall River's 20-acre waterfront along the Taunton River is framed as a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
This publicly created asset has the potential to reshape Fall River for generations.
“Unless the city takes a different approach, one of the commonwealth's most valuable publicly created development sites may offer little, if any opportunity for lower-income Fall River residents,” Albernaz stated.
Fall River is confronting a severe affordable housing shortage.
UIA is calling for revising waterfront plans to include mixed-income housing alongside parks, public spaces, and economic development.
