Jeff Roy and Senator Becca Rausch. What’s being built is more than housing — it’s a way to help keep generations of families in Franklin for years to come.

Learn more about the vision, the progress, and what this means for Franklin straight from the man who helped make it happen.

Franklin TV: Town Hall Overhaul

New Trimmings and New Tech

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 08/04/2023

It’s been twenty years-ish since Franklin government moved into the Municipal Building, and time for a refresh. For us it meant uninstalling and removing our 19 microphones, 7 cameras, and 5 displays – everything – from Chambers. Then the main dais and desks could be removed for painting and carpeting.

Franklin TV: Town Hall Overhaul

It means that in the ordering of tasks we are ‘first out – last in’. No one can do their thing until we remove all of our wiring, and we can’t reinstall our gear until all the work is done. There’s an axiom about audio and video systems. It takes only a few hours to remove everything. Done. But it takes days to reinstall and test to ensure that everything works as before. That said, as of Friday evening, we’re ready.

Along the way we also installed new tech. Over the years our Chambers system has had many adds and upgrades. Zoom systems – new control systems, and so on were installed in limited ways to avoid disrupting scheduled meetings. The renovation enabled us to reroute and upgrade signal cables through floor, ceiling and walls and add flexibility to enable future changes.

Thanks to Kevin Harn and Mike D’Angelo for their excellent, timely project management. Now – it’s back to business as usual.

And – as always –

Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm. 

And, thank you for watching.
