Providing accurate and timely information about what matters in Franklin, MA since 2007. * Working in collaboration with Franklin TV and Radio (wfpr.fm) since October 2019 *
The Town is developing a new brand and logo to represent Franklin's unique strengths and assets as well as the community's vision for the future.
Branding is more than just a logo - it touches every aspect of the Town's visual representation and seeks to illustrate how the Town depicts itself. Franklin's updated brand should reflect the community's identity and core values. We need your input to help create a stronger, viable and relatable image with a unified message.

"We’re going to try and not get emotional but time is the ultimate thief. It’s not fair how quickly our kids grow up and leave us for school.This week Officer Tyler Brabham starts the nine-month William James College Graduate Certificate Course in Crisis Response & Behavioral Health. Our Clinicians wouldn’t miss an opportunity to make Officer Brabham a back-to-school sign.
The Center for Crisis Response and Behavioral Health at William James College provides training and education to mental health professionals and law enforcement on effective response methods for encounters with individuals who are experiencing a psychiatric, substance-related, or mental health crisis. The program addresses an important need for expanding roles and opportunities in public safety and seeks to create effective partnerships between mental health and law enforcement.
Officer Brabham Officer Brabham has gone above and beyond to work alongside our clinicians and help those in our community with mental health needs. Keep up the great work and good luck Tyler!"
