This session of the radio show shares my "Talk Franklin" conversation with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen and Marketing and Communications Specialist Anne Marie Tracey. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.
We talk about:
- vaccine distribution readiness
- Recent School Committee Davis Thayer decision
- The Storm water discussion continues
- A preview of Town Council meeting
- Complete streets
- Community Preservation Committee appointments possible
- Hearts of Kindness on Town Common
- #thinkfranklinFirst, #ProjectEnvoy
Links to the key topics covered here are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 35 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Jamie and Anne Marie.
