The Fall River Zoning Board of Appeals recently made some big decisions to help the city grow. They approved plans for new housing that will bring over 60 new apartments and homes to the area. They also gave the go-ahead for a new tattoo and piercing shop to open. These changes could mean more places for people to live and new businesses for the community.
More Homes for More People
Fall River has been working hard to provide more housing because many people are looking for places to live. The new projects will add more than 60 new housing units. This means there will be more apartments and homes for singles, couples, and small families.
The people building these homes want them to be modern and energy-efficient. They want the places to feel comfortable and nice for everyone who will live there. This is good news for people who have been waiting for more options to find a home.

A New Tattoo and Piercing Shop
At the same time, the city is welcoming a new body art studio. This will be a place where people can get tattoos and piercings. The new shop promises to keep all safety and health rules, so customers can feel safe.
The owner of the studio is excited to open in Fall River. They hope to bring something new and creative to the city, giving residents another reason to visit downtown and support local businesses.
