MAIN STREET TRANSFORMATION - PUBLIC INPUT SESSIONS

The Town of Franklin has partnered with McAdams and Toole Design to create a transformational plan for Main Street. The Town Council needs your help to craft this vision for the future. This plan is meant to be more than beautification and traffic modification, it is meant to transform Main Street into a more vibrant and inviting space for Franklin residents and businesses.

There will be informational sessions on Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29 where you can weigh in on this important plan. There will be ample opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas for how Main Street will look and feel. All meetings will be held at Twenty-Eight Main Events (beside Renee's Cake Shoppe) on East Main Street.

Yesterday we are happy to announce the NC Historic Preservation office committee approved the Downtown Franklin Historic District for National Registry. This will be a major funding opportunity for the downtown revitalization efforts to buildings in the district. The National Registry office still has to approve the district at the federal level but we have no concerns that won't happen. The Town of Franklin would like to thank Mary Ruffin Handbury our historic preservation consultant for all her hard work preparing the application. The dream of the Scott Griffin Hotel coming back to life is still in play.

Did you know that you could report a street light out? All street lights in the Town of Franklin are maintained by Duke Energy. When one goes out we simple report it out on this website. But we don't always see them out as fast. To help us out you can make the same request as we do. You will then get a time table of when the light will be fix and notice of when it is fixed.

Report a street light outage by entering an address, business name or closest street. Map details include current status & estimated restoration time.
