Glenn Jones shares lessons learned from the Master Plan process (audio)
FM #1383 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1383 in the series.
This session shares my conversation with the new "former" Chair of the Master Plan Update Committee Glenn Jones. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio on Monday, February 10, 2025.
This session focused on the review of the full process and approval of the Master Plan to help guide Franklin for the next 10 years.
We had talked at the beginning of the process (Feb 2023) and also before the major Open House event at Dean College (March 2024). Links for those are shared below.
The recording runs about 58 minutes, so let’s listen in. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1383-master-plan-recap-w-glenn-jones-02-10-25/
