The plans for our Community Center are finally progressing along. The
architect has made alterations needed when the plans were returned from
The Urban Development. Soon we will be able to see building plans and
to make the final decisions.
Jerry and Candy (Toschi) Pitts have made a tremendous donation to
the Franklin Community. The Franklin Catholic Church is in disrepair
and will be torn down. Jerry and Candy have donated everything we want
of the building. This gift to our Community is wonderful. (Thank You.)
The brick will be used to make a monument at the future walking park.
The park will be located where the old hall site was. The Arma Boy
Scout Troop will soon start on the project.
Phyllis Bitner has worked on the Franklin web site. It can be found at
www.franklinkansas.com. She has done so much hard work on Franklin
History.
If you have any history to add please call Phyllis at 3478387. She will
always be happy to hear from you.
Our sewer is slow but steady. The County is working on the easements
readying it for the future work. We are all excited about the sewer.
The sewer will enhance our community a lot.
The Endress property (east of the old hall site) has been
purchased by the Community Council and plans are being made to use the
land for a children’s park.
Soon we will start seeing some big changes in our Community.
