The Main Street program helps a local community take a look at its assets as well as its challenges and how it can revitalize a downtown district.
Today’s meeting is part of the two-day Downtown Assessment Resource Team visit that runs through Wednesday. The team of downtown revitalization experts will tour Franklin and meet with community members.
A plan with recommendations for downtown revitalization will then be created and delivered to the community.
