The last full week of August. Then it is another week before we get to Labor Day. The calendar does things like this sometimes.
Early voting is scheduled for the Town Clerk's office Monday through Friday in advance of the State Primary on September 1. Voting in person for the Primary will only be at Franklin High School from 6 AM to 8 PM.
The Planning Board is scheduled to meet on Monday, Aug 24. The major new item has changed its scheduled debut to Sept 28 - the Depot Plaza proposal moved out to Sep 28
The 250 Anniversary Historical Significance subcommittee is also scheduled to meet on Monday. A listing of healthy discussion points on what and how to cover the 250th is on tap.
The School Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, new administrators are introduced, the handbooks are up for approval, there is an update on hiring status, and facilities project work that was accomplished during the summer.
The Conservation Commission is scheduled for Thursday. A few public hearings are lined up in addition to their general business items.
The full 250th Anniversary Committee is scheduled for meeting Thursday with an invitation to the community to participate and provide input on what else can or should be considered for the celebration in 2028.
Closing out this week, the annual block party for Franklin TV & Radio is scheduled for Saturday at 3 PM. The community is welcomed to check out the studio, enjoy some food, music, and converse with the folks working on the video and audio production. Maybe there is a show idea you’d like to explore. Come on out to 23 Hutchinson St for the block party.
