A public hearing was held on March 13, 2024, at 5:31 PM in the Fall River City Council chambers to gather public comment on a substantial amendment to the 2020 Consolidated Plan and the 2023 Annual Action Plan. This amendment is being prepared for submission to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The proposed amendment aims to provide funding for the Greater Fall River Food Pantry's interior floor renovation project, which includes moving fixtures, temporary storage, and installing a new non-skid floor. This activity is intended to meet HUD's national objective of assisting low-to-moderate income (LMI) people and limited clientele. Copies of the projected use of funds and a summary of the proposed amendment were published in the Fall River Herald News and on the city's website. The full proposed amendment was also available for public review at the Fall River Community Development Agency at One Government Center. Residents have until April 1, 2024, to submit written comments. However, no one attended the public hearing to speak or submit comments, leading the speaker to close the hearing.
