Transcript Welcome to Fall River Now. This is our weekly recap for the week ending October 9, 2026, where we cover the most significant local government news. Topping the news this week, the Fall River Tax Increment Financing Board approved three residential tax exemption agreements on Tuesday. The deals support redevelopment projects applying for Housing Development Incentive Program and historic tax credits to create new housing across the city. Also on Tuesday, the Sewer Commission signed off on major engineering contracts, plant equipment authorizations, and septage hauling permits. The commission also handled administrative business, approving its June minutes. Public schools saw significant movement this week. On Wednesday, the Fall River School Committee formally adopted the PROTECT Act policy. The meeting opened with a moment of silence for former Superintendent James Gibney, who served the district for 32 years before his death on September 28. Earlier in the week, the committee's Evaluation Subcommittee held preliminary interviews and advanced a candidate for the position of confidential administrative assistant. At City Hall, the City Council Committee on Ordinances and Legislation tackled a packed agenda Tuesday night, reviewing municipal code revisions and operational resolutions.

The Licensing Board approved a one-day liquor permit during a special meeting Wednesday led by Chair Gregory Brilhante and Michael Perreira. Earlier in the week, the Conservation Commission approved two residential projects while tabling several other items, including fee structures and issues on Belt Rock Road. On Friday, the city marked Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a ceremony at City Hall featuring the Clothesline Project, organized alongside the Bristol County District Attorney's Office and the Women's Center at SSTAR.
