Cleaning up the District

We have an awesome Clean and Safe team that keeps our district free of graffiti, trash and debris so customers can enjoy their shopping experience. They work arduously under the blistering, hot sun and cold, unforgiving rain to provide a safe environment for our community to shop and live. If you see them, please thank them for their relentless commitment and fabulous job they have done over the years!

Visit from Mayor Steinberg!

We had the great honor to give a tour of our business district to our new Mayor. Thank you Mayor Darrell Steinberg for visiting our business district and talking with our businesses, property owners and community!

Big takeaways from the Mayor's visit:

Homeless and mental health concerns are priorities for the mayor
Increasing economic development and jobs in the area
Fostering youth engagement and development

Part of our endeavor to better our business district and community is investing in our physical infrastructure, businesses, partner agencies and educational opportunities. We have formed the Franklin Neighborhood Development Corporation to do exactly that.
