Sustainable Franklin County: A Regional Plan for Sustainable Development is a long-range blueprint for Franklin County’s sustainable development. The Plan builds on past regional planning efforts and looks to the future, using the vision created through the public participation process. The resulting goals and recommendations, supported by the public, will help the region become more resilient and sustainable. The Plan acknowledges the impact climate change is likely to have on our region. Given these likely impacts, the Plan seeks to protect our environment, enhance our communities, and support our economic development. It also seeks to guide choices made by town governments and regional organizations and will serve as a decision-making tool for individuals, businesses, organizations, and municipalities.
