The Town of Franklin recognized for another first - "first municipality in the country to adopt social prescribing"

via Town of Franklin:

"Franklin's Social Prescriptions initiative was recently featured by the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ). 

In 2025, the Town of Franklin became the first municipality in the country to adopt social prescribing, a healthcare approach that connects residents with arts, culture, recreation, and other community-based activities to help address social isolation and support overall well-being.

More than a year later, the program continues to make an impact through partnerships that connect residents to meaningful community experiences."

Come along with us as we go inside the Lift Station of the Beaver St Interceptor Project (BSI) (video)

Our thanks to Doug Martin, P.E., Water and Sewer Superintendent for the Town of Franklin (MA) for providing us access and helping explain the workings of this new pump/life station. Thanks also to Mike Ammendolia, Construction Supervisor for Methuen Construction which built the pump/life station. This project consists of the replacement and repair of Franklin's largest piece of sewer infrastructure, originally constructed in 1914. The cost for this pump/life station installation was about $8M or about 25% of the total $30M project. The project is being financed by a SRF loan from the State of MA and the sewer user fees. Additional info on the BSI Project can be found on the Town of Franklin project page https://www.franklinma.gov/557/Beaver-Street-Interceptor-BSI-Project My thanks also to Chris Leverone and Joe Landry for capturing the video footage. And especially to Chris for handling the bulk of the editing.
