On Friday, May 10, 2024, Ben 4 Franklin will host a launch party at 7:00pm at the Franklin TV Studio, 23 Hutchinson Street. In addition to a short speaking program with featured speaker Jesse Kanson-Benanav, Executive Director of Abundant Housing Massachusetts, this interactive event will be a place where attendees can share memories of Franklin from the past and envision Franklin in the future through discussion, storytelling and artistic expression. Light refreshments will be provided.
Building Equitable Neighborhoods for Franklin (BEN 4 Franklin) will advocate for a Franklin with abundant, affordable housing for all, a walkable, economically vibrant downtown and neighborhoods that evolve in a fiscally-responsible manner. Mark Minnichelli (co-chair), Emma Snellings (co-chair), Cobi Frongillo, Pandora and Gino Carlucci, Max Morrongiello, Ndoumbe Ndoye, Francis Olsson, and Lisa Oxford stepped up as the first BEN 4 Franklin leadership team.
