Town Councilor Maxwell Morrongiello announced today (1/20/26) that establishing a minimum annual allocation to the school district operating budget received the most nominations in the first phase of his Master Plan priority survey.

The goal, identified as CSF6.1a in the Master Plan, received nine nominations in a survey that closed Jan. 19. Overall, residents submitted 35 valid nominations across 24 different Master Plan goals.

"I'm listening to Franklin residents," Morrongiello said. "So far, education funding has generated the most interest, but the poll will determine which goals the community wants prioritized."

Morrongiello has now opened a web poll asking residents to select which goals the Town Council should prioritize during his first term. The poll includes the 24 goals nominated by residents as well as several additional goals Morrongiello added based on his campaign platform and initial council priorities. The poll closes Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.

The Town Council will hold its goal setting meeting Wednesday, Feb. 4. Morrongiello encourages residents to fill out the poll and attend the meeting to advocate for goals important to them.

"This is your opportunity to make your voice heard before the council establishes its priorities for the term," Morrongiello said.

The poll is available at https://forms.gle/G5sckZhnPSHoNMiq8

The poll is non-binding but will inform Morrongiello's decision making as the council develops its legislative priorities for the 2025-2027 term.

Residents with suggestions or concerns beyond the Master Plan are encouraged to contact Morrongiello directly at mmorrongiello@franklinma.gov.

The Town of Franklin adopted its 2025 Master Plan last year after extensive public input. The plan identifies more than 300 goals to accomplish over the next decade across six key areas: Housing Diversity, Complete Neighborhoods, Neighborhood Connectivity, Vibrant Downtown, Natural and Historic Conservation and Resource Efficiency.

Councilor Morrongiello Seeks Public Input on Master Plan Priority Goals

Town Councilor Maxwell Morrongiello is inviting residents to help identify which goals from the recently adopted Master Plan the Town Council should prioritize during his first term.

The Town of Franklin adopted its 2025 Master Plan last year after extensive public input. The plan identifies more than 300 goals to accomplish over the next decade across six key areas: Housing Diversity, Complete Neighborhoods, Neighborhood Connectivity, Vibrant Downtown, Natural and Historic Conservation, and Resource Efficiency.

"I campaigned on a platform of transparency. Now I want to hear from you," Morrongiello said. "The Town Council will soon be deciding what goals to tackle during the current term."

The survey asks residents to nominate one goal from the Master Plan. Due to the expected volume of responses, participants are asked to submit only their top priority. Morrongiello will follow up with a web poll after the nomination period closes.

Nominations close Jan. 19, 2026.

The Town Council will hold its goal setting meeting Feb. 4. Morrongiello encourages community members to make their voices heard before the council establishes its priorities for the term.

The survey is available at https://forms.gle/f9xHt8wjaNDEFKHB8

The survey is non-binding but will help Morrongiello determine which goals to support as the council develops its legislative priorities for the 2025-2027 term.

Only goals from the adopted Master Plan will be considered for the survey. Residents with suggestions or concerns beyond the Master Plan are encouraged to contact Morrongiello directly at mmorrongiello@franklinma.gov.
