Issues raised in a social media post regarding the new
Durfee High School have been known for some time and have been promptly addressed.

Residents should trust that our Building Oversight Committee and the team at the construction
site have kept a watchful eye on the project.

Taxpayer money is not being wasted. At the end of
the year, our students will have a safe, well-constructed school that will last for decades.

The
author of the post referred to the team from the City of Fall River as being "diligent"
and thorough in enforcing building codes needed for a successful project.

Please know the City
has an excellent working relationship with Suffolk Construction and all of the sub-contractors on
the job. We will continue our daily monitoring at the site.
