Join BEN 4 Franklin for a panel discussion on downtown Franklin!

The event will feature Jonathan Berk, founder of re:MAIN, and Ashley Eaton, Senior Planner at Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP), exploring what makes successful downtowns and neighborhoods. 

Drawing on examples from across Massachusetts, the conversation will cover housing, local businesses, walkability, transportation, parking, public spaces, and community character.

With several development proposals generating discussion in Franklin, the event offers an opportunity to look beyond individual projects and consider how the community can foster a thriving, welcoming downtown.

The one-hour program will include presentations, moderated discussion, and audience Q&A.

The event is free and open to all.
