Franklin is also a city on the move. It is home to a state-of-the-art high school, a bustling

REMINDER!!!! Applications are due this Friday! Please nominate someone you know that gives so much of their time to our community!We are currently accepting applications for the 2019 Volunteer of the Year Award! The Volunteer of the Year Award is presented to individuals who have displayed outstanding volunteer service in the community within the last year. Award recipients will receive city-wide recognition for their extraordinary efforts, their name on a plaque which hangs in City Hall, and a certificate for their achievement. The winner will be announced at the State of the City Address in March at The Historic Artcraft Theatre.
This award was created to recognize the extensive hours that volunteers contribute to ensuring the continued success of our community. Often, these efforts are behind the scenes and go without recognition. The volunteer award was named after a Franklin couple, Marty and Carolyn Williams, for their exemplary commitment of time, energy and efforts to ensure our events run smoothly. Volunteers deserve an opportunity for us to express our gratitude and recognition for their service.
Please click the link below or visit Franklin.IN.Gov to download the form (located under News and Notices at the bottom of the Homepage). You can also pick up a hard copy at City Hall between the hours of 8-4. All nominations are due by February 22, 2019. THANK YOU for your service!

Countryview Mobile Home community needs the craters fixed bad. I'm really tired of dodging and still hitting deep holes.
WHEN WILL THE SIDE WALK - CURB PHASE BEGIN ON WEST JEFF,?
When are potholes in the mobile home park behind the hospital gonna get fixed. Delivery drivers for a pizza chain are having their tires popped from them and there is absolutely no way to avoid them with people parking on the side of the streets. And it seems the people running this place arenβt doing jack for it.
Cara, wanna go?
So 10 years from now they might be finished

Is there anyway this could be live streamed on Facebook?

New life for empty store: Hobby Lobby coming to Franklin
dailyjournal.net
A well known arts, crafts and home decor store is coming to Franklin, filling a big box vacancy along U.S. 31.The former Kroger grocery store in Northwood Plaza off U.S. 31 will be empty no longer.Hobby Lobby plans to open in the former grocery location.The company was recently issued a permit to do...
Yay! Is this real!?! If we can get a Target now, a Starbucks by the interstate and a few more restaurants that donβt serve burgers or pizza, I would never have to leave Franklin. πππΌ
Is there a Chick Fil A or a McAllisters in plans for by the interstate ? Hint hint
Hope They can draw employees as there are more jobs in Franklin, and not enough people wanting "millennials" to work
Hope they succeed. Awful close to the Greenwood location.
Happy to also have a store to which public transportation is accessible. So good to have quality products available for hobby and sewing folks. That has been sadly lacking in our Franklin. Now, if we could get a furniture store. . .
Yes I know I already told her
Glad the building will not be sitting empty, but I'll still drive up to Michael's.
Bad news for my bank account!!!
Yay! I like that it will open up more job opportunities!!
Oh no!!! Iβm going to need a second job. At least I had to make an effort to go up to the one in Greenwood! π
Love Hobby Lobby β€οΈπ
No more Starbucks! Theres 3 in Franklin alone. That's enough
This is good news. As I read this, I am at Greenwood Hobby Lobby.
