Improving Access to Healthy Food Stores:
Using Economic Development Resources
We call for coordinated public and private support for more affordable grocery stores in places that need them and healthier options in corner stores. We encourage active participation from state business, government, and civic leaders along with community residents, and we will help develop recommendations for Massachusetts to maximize the use of all possible tools, including state and federal economic development resources.
