Town Of Franklin
It is the mission of the Town of Franklin's governmental entities to provide all of its citizens with the greatest possible spectrum of basic services, directed at publicly expressed community needs, at the least possible cost.
This includes providing the children of our community with the ability to attain a higher plane of achievement within the school system, the less fortunate with a variety of assistance and support programs, the elderly with services directed to meet their ever increasing leisure and health needs, and the public as a whole with a high degree of services from infrastructure support to recreational possibilities.
As a corollary strategy to providing excellent services, the adequate maintenance of existing facilities must also be accomplished on a priority basis. All this must be concluded within the scope of affordability in order not to burden our taxpayers beyond their capacity to pay.
