Property at Junction 69 & 47
September, 2004: Property should be deeded to the
community shortly
and the sign is ready to be placed at this location.
June, 2004: Still waiting on a deed from the state.
Once
that is taken care of plans are already in place to install a “Welcome
to
Franklin” sign.
May, 2004: Dianna Morrision and Margaret Kennedy reported
that a huge boulder could be donated and placed at the intersection of
the bypass and Highway 47. Nothing can be done until the property
is deeded to the council but they are checking into getting it
set. It was also discussed about lighting the sign. It was
decided to wait until the sign is set since there has been talk of the
state lighting the intersection and it may not require any special
lighting. Ted Wynn offered to mow the area and to do some
landscaping work. Any volunteer help would be
appreciated.
April, 2004: Plans are in the works for placing a "Welcome
to Franklin" sign at this location.
August 3, 2003 We are in the process of obtaining two
sites from the State at the south end of town where the old highway is
now. It is over 2 acres. According to the state
it is for community use only.
