This session of the radio show shares my "Talk Franklin" conversation with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

We talk about: 

• Maple Hill status
• Staffing changes; committee/board re-appointments
• Re-opening continues, more meetings in person allowed
• Farmers Market, 4th of July; concerts on the common – Cultural Festival

Links to the key topics covered here are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 26 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Jamie.
