People, Incorporated’s One Step Closer to Moving into the Downtown Area!

People, Incorporated is pleased to announce that it has signed a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of the Citizens Union Savings Bank building located on 4 South Main Street in downtown Fall River.

This purchase is the culmination of a lengthy process to find a building suitable for the current and future needs of People, Incorporated. Canuel states, “We believe in the future of the downtown Fall River area and feel strongly that by increasing our presence in downtown, we will help to revitalize the area. We are proud that we will locate more than 100 professional jobs in this building and further, within the next two to three years, we anticipate adding 50 more new jobs to that number.”

People, Incorporated has developed an expanded array of services in recent years and has also developed additional locations in the Taunton and New Bedford areas. Canuel, who has been President and CEO since 2003, has overseen the addition of numerous new programs that strive to improve educational development, job skills, and family support for the community. People, Incorporated anticipates occupying the newly acquired building sometime in the spring of 2012.
