A key milestone in Fall River’s 25-year effort to realize the full development potential of its’ waterfront is underway! The issuance of the Route 79 Invitation to Bid brings our community one step closer to a transformational mixed-use development that will positively impact Fall River and the surrounding region.
The project is expected to generate approximately $1 billion in private-sector investment and create a vibrant waterfront destination featuring new housing, restaurants, cafés, retail establishments, and other commercial uses.
I value the collaboration between our state and local partners and extend our sincere appreciation to Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, and the many past and present state and local officials whose collective leadership and persistence have helped move this historic redevelopment opportunity closer to fruition.
