Franklin TV: Tri-County Topped

A culmination – and a beginning

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 09/14/2025


Tri-County is finally realizing its dream – building a 21st century school facility. The long journey to today’s ‘topping off’ ceremonies began BC – before COVID. Architectural dreams often begin as design sketches – on napkins – in notebooks. Sketches become plans. Plans become projects. Today, that dream has a shape, sketched across the September sky – in steel.

The bones of the building now stand tall and strong.

The teachers, students, planners, political advocates, supporters and well-wishers all came out to celebrate the momentous event on a glorious Friday morning. So much work has been done to make this happen, and so much more will unfold over the next few years to complete Tri-County’s extensive regional vocational facility.

At a time when careers of every stripe face growing concerns over the threat of AI to future employment, the recognized and rising need for a highly skilled trades workforce that can meet the country’s future construction and infrastructure needs is becoming all the more acute. Skilled and talented ‘makers of tomorrow’ will come from schools like Tri-County which is clearly preparing to lead the way.

A grateful nod goes out to all who helped to guide this much needed initiative along the way. At the outset, the cost of such dreams can seem dear, but the generational value for decades to come is invaluable.

And – as always –
