Fall River meeting to take place in Corky Row to discuss public safety, quality of life

Mayor Paul Coogan has scheduled a meeting with the residents of the Corky Row Neighborhood to discuss public safety and other quality of life issues within their neighborhood.

A meeting had initially been scheduled and approved at 3:19 p.m. on Thursday by the City Council Committee on Public Safety at the Corky Row Club at 602 Third Street on Monday May 24th at 3:00 p.m. to address issues and concerns with public safety throughout the city.

Just after 4:00 p.m. Thursday, communication was passed along that a new meeting was scheduled by Coogan at the same location for 6:00 p.m.

The meeting will be attended by state and local officials and various department heads who will address issues such as public safety, community development, code enforcement, minimum housing and community maintenance issues.

There have been several high profile incidents in the Corky Row area as of late including a roving shooting in March and a double fatal shooting last week.

Members of the community are welcome to attend.
