10. Food & Water - Produce Vendor

Provide occupants access to a fresh produce vendor

Rationale: Vendors that prioritize the selling of fresh produce and operate on a regular schedule increase access to fruits and vegetables, encourage increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and enhance community engagement — contributing to a diminished risk of diet-related diseases and social isolation.
