The last master plan was drafted in 1997, and is the document Franklin officials refer to now when making any developmental changes to town, but even that draft was never fully adopted, officials said last night.
“We need your input,” Town Councilor and Master Plan Committee Chairman Jeffrey Roy told residents, and a local cable TV camera.
“We can’t do this alone. We can’t make this work unless you participate.”
The master plan has seven sections, explained town Planning Department Director Bryan Taberner: economic development; land use; community service and facilities; housing; natural, cultural, and historic resources; circulation; and open space and recreation. Public opinion is sought when making any changes.
There is more interest in food now than at any point in our nation’s history. We have more standards with which to make conscious food choices than ever before.

Despite this tremendous interest in food, there is almost no interest in the people that pick it.
