The Town Council meeting on Wednesday accomplished some key measures. The Franklin TV recording is available for replay ->  https://www.youtube.com/live/mDW9w-tVEQs?feature=share

Quick recap:

• License ownership changes for the alcohol license at The Curry House were approved
• Health Director Cathleen Liberty provides insights on the Metacomet Health Alliance and the benefits to Franklin
• The inclusionary zoning proposal back from the Planning Board review was moved to a second reading, one step closer to approval.
• The 3-part package of zoning changes for accessory dwelling units was moved forward from the EDC Plus recommendation with a modification to refer to the Planning Board for their review. It will come back to the Town Council for their review and potential approval vote sometime in the near future
• FY 2024 budget should be ready for review by Friday, with the Finance Committee and Town Council hears set for May
