Join the Infrastructure Team
Are you interested in helping to mobilize our community toward major infrastructure changes to make us a viable, healthy, community with traffic that flows instead of semitrucks bogging down traffic and obstructing views in our history business district? Are you interested in extending and improving the river walk along Fall River (Freedom Trail)?
Come to the Horizons community dinner Feb 21 at the American Legion (6 p.m., lasagne, good food, good people) and sign up for a team, or — if you can’t make it — leave a comment here with your contact information and someone will get in touch with you.
