Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan will not be presenting his State of the City Address next week as planned.

From the City of Fall River

(Fall River, MA- March 11, 2020)- Massachusetts has declared a State of Emergency and has encouraged the cancellation of all discretionary gathering, particularly gatherings involving large numbers of people. As a result and in an abundance of caution, Mayor Paul E. Coogan will be postponing the State of the City address that was scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6:00pm.

The State of the City address will be rescheduled once the State of Emergency is lifted. Although strict compliance of Section 3-6 of the City Charter cannot occur, the Administration believes that an address that is open to the public takes priority over the time constraints detailed in the City Charter.

For any health-related questions please contact Tess Curran, Director of Health and Human Services Department for the City of Fall River, 508-324-2410. For all other questions or concerns, please contact Sara Lapointe in Mayor Coogan’s office, 508-324-2600.
