Street Sweeping

Dear Franklin Downtown Businesses,

We are happy to report that the DPW has increased the number of times they will be street sweeping downtown.

Please make a note that they are scheduled to sweep every Thursday, weather permitting. This means that you can sweep your sidewalk on Wednesday and they will sweep up the dirt/leaves that are on the street each Thursday morning.

The FDP Beautification Committee appreciates the support from the DPW and encourages downtown businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to keep our downtown looking Beautiful.

Please e-mail the FDP office at downtown.franklin@yahoo.com if you have any questions or suggestions.
