Healthy corner store ordinance campaign

A low-income neighborhood has no full-service grocery store within 2 miles, and its corner stores sell mostly packaged snacks. A health education specialist at a community nonprofit, a 501(c)(3) organization funded partly by a federal grant and partly by private donations, is working with residents and store owners.

In four months the city council will vote on an ordinance offering small grants to corner stores that stock fresh produce. Two of the seven council members support it, two oppose it, and three are undecided. A local business association has not taken a position.
