FROED One Government Center Fall River, MA 02722-7700 Tel 508-324-2620 Fax 508-677-2840 info@froed.org		As mayor of the City of Fall River, one of my primary objectives is to establish our city as a leader in business and economic development. Fall River is home to more than 2,000 thriving businesses representing the industrial, commercial and retail sectors. Why have they chosen to invest in Fall River? Because of our workforce, which is second to none. And our business costs, which are among the lowest in Massachusetts and competitive with locations throughout the country. And because our Office of Economic Development, through aggressive incentive programs, is working to ensure that they remain a permanent part of the city's economic landscape. Strong public-private partnerships have helped ensure that the City of Fall River remains an ideal location for business and industry. We share a mutual responsibility to create a successful, pro-business environment, and on behalf of our city, I look forward to working with you as we build a better Fall River. Mayor Robert Correia Fall River, Massachusetts Chairman of the Board Fall River Office of Economic Development
