FM #1273 - Franklin (MA) Economic Dev Subcmte Mtg - 09/04/24

Published on: 9th September, 2024

This session of the radio show shares the audio recording of the Economic Development Subcommittee (EDC) held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 in the Council Chambers. 

All four members of the subcommittee were present in Chambers (Hamblen, Chandler, Sheridan & Frongillo).

Deputy Administrator Amy Frigulietti provided an overview of the consultant selection process which was put out to bids, the bids reviewed, consultants interviewed, and then Franklin resident A.J. Rebecchi was announced as selected.

The branding survey responses and other materials collected in this effort will be shared with AJ as work on the branding continues. 

The town seal will remain for official documents. The branding effort will better position Franklin departmental information with a consistent look & feel, better enable sharing of info via the social channels, and be utilized gradually in the planned wayfinding signs, vehicles markings, etc.

The recording of the meeting runs about 20 minutes.
