Federal and state officials led a community discussion and came up with a plan of action.

They decided to focus on physical access to food sources and services by improving sidewalks, trails and bike lanes to the farmers' market and YMCA. Other ideas include mobile markets or neighborhood gardens.

People in town will finalize the plan over the next few months before they look for funding.
