Featured Project
Ann's Restaurant
One of Downtown Franklin's popular favorite breakfast and lunch stops, this restaurant wanted to upgrade its building as part of the overall customer experience.
Their 20th-century functional commercial building was constructed in 1987 after a fire destroyed the original building. The Franklin Development Corporation's investment helped with a facade project that included period signage.
Latest Project
650 Hurricane Street
The Franklin Economic Development Commission awarded FDC $33,000 to help turn this house into an affordable single-family home. The Property Recovery Task Force approved the budget to rehabilitate the exterior and interior.
