We're working to increase access to healthy food options in underserved areas by proposing tax credits and grants for investments in grocery stores and food banks located in food deserts. This legislation aims to encourage the development and improvement of grocery outlets to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food choices, addressing both food insecurity and economic development in our communities.
