FRANKLIN DISTRICT COMMUNITY CLIMATE AND REVITALIZATION PLAYBOOK

In 2019, the Franklin District received competitive grant funding to develop a neighborhood plan or “Playbook” for improving the Franklin District’s economy, environment, and livability. The process to develop the Playbook used a lot of engagement with people, including over 800 interviews with local residents and businesses on ideas and priorities for community improvements.

​

The Playbook, completed in 2020, identifies many strategies and actions for improving the safety and attractiveness of the Franklin corridor, expanding housing options and homeless supports, and increasing clean transportation alternatives, energy efficiency, climate resilience, workforce development, and economic opportunities. The project also helped strengthen coordination between local organizations, public agencies, businesses and residents, and has positioned the Franklin community for additional competitive funds.
