Website Press Release


In case you missed our latest press release about our website...

FDP Website Connects You to Local Businesses

Looking for a restaurant or personal trainer in Franklin? How about information on an upcoming festival or an update on a construction project? Whatever you’re looking for, www.franklindowntownpartnership.org/ should be a favorite place to go to get connected with what’s happening around town.

The website is the place to go to find links to local shopping and dining, get updates on downtown construction projects and download festival forms. Find links to historical sites in town, get connected to community interest groups or learn more about the Partnership’s mission and efforts.

The non-profit Franklin Downtown Partnership has more than 160 members who are business owners, residents and community leaders working to revitalize downtown Franklin. The FDP runs popular events like the Harvest Festival, the Strawberry Stroll and the Holiday Stroll. It also heads up beautification efforts and acts as a central voice for members in matters affecting the town.

“With this website we have created a central place where everyone can come to learn more about living and working in Franklin and the exciting things happening here,” says Executive Director Lisa Piana. “It is where everyone, residents and visitors alike, can go to get connected to the heart of our thriving community.”

“We continue to grow the site and make it a ‘go-to source’ for event and contact information and links to important town resources,” says Terri Frank, website coordinator for the FDP. “A key component is our partner links, which take visitors directly to the websites of our members and community leaders who all take an active interest in promoting local businesses and building our downtown.”

Franklin Downtown Partnership Launches New Website

Whether you’re looking for a cafe, for information about one of the many festivals or for updates on downtown road projects slated for the town, you can find it all and more on the Franklin Downtown Partnership’s new website, franklindowntownpartnership.org.

The non-profit organization, which runs events like the Harvest Festival and the Holiday Stroll to raise awareness of Franklin’s downtown, created the website as an information center for all things downtown Franklin, according to Executive Director Lisa Piana.

“We built a community website where we can share information about our events and highlight downtown businesses,” says Piana. “But just as important to us was the idea of creating a place where people from all over could learn more about Franklin and the exciting things happening here.”

Website co-creator Steve Sherlock used what he calls “The 3 Cs” to build the site. “Good content starts conversations and over time those conversations build community,” says Sherlock, a Downtown Partnership volunteer who also writes a blog called Franklin Matters. “We want to use this site as a central location for all of our internet activities. In the future we will expand to share information through other social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

The site currently has a wide variety of information, from membership details to meeting dates and agendas, and information about and registration forms for the various festivals. Visitors to the site can find links to many of the Partnership’s more than 140 members’ websites, including restaurants, personal trainers, Town Hall, the Historical Museum and Dean College. Information about projects that are moving through the Planning Board or Town Council approval process that directly affects the downtown will be easy to find as well.

The site will continue to expand, according to Terri Frank, website coordinator. “We aim to be another go-to site, in conjunction with the Town’s website, for information about the upcoming downtown improvement project. We will post timely information about hearings or road closures to try to help our businesses, residents and visitors navigate the downtown during the redesign.”

For more information please contact Executive Director Lisa Piana at (774)571-3109 or downtown.franklin@yahoo.com, or stop by the Downtown Partnership office located at 9 East Central Street.
