A Historic City Thriving with Modern Growth Franklin, Tennessee, is a unique blend of history and new growth. Located about 15 miles south of Nashville, it was founded in 1799 and named after Benjamin Franklin. One of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War took place here, bringing thousands of visitors each year to visit the site of the Battle of Franklin, Carnton, the Carter House, and many other historic sites throughout the city. For almost fifty years, Franklin’s historic downtown has led the way nationally in revitalization with resounding success in its resurgence. It continues to be preserved and revitalized today, attracting new retail and restaurants and serving as the setting for festivals and parades enjoyed by thousands each year. Residents and visitors enjoy the beautiful 16-block historic district that offers true southern hospitality with uniquely elegant shops, a variety of restaurants, clothing, and gifts.

Approach to Development Franklin, at its foundation, is based in strong planning for future growth and development, preservation of historic and natural resources, and long-term economic vitality. Through Franklin’s long history of excellent planning regulations and guidelines, including Envision Franklin, the Franklin Zoning Ordinance, the Preservation Plan, and the Historic District Design Guidelines, local growth and development deliver a high quality of life and experiences for Franklin’s residents, businesses, and institutions. • Purposeful and responsible growth is vital, with special focus on: • Coordinating land-use policies, infrastructure improvements, and community investments to maximize efficiency and public benefits. • Supporting a thriving regional economy. • Creating exceptional places for all people. • Encouraging a variety of housing options for every stage of life. • Locating neighborhood commercial and mixed-use nodes to serve neighborhoods and reduce vehicle trip lengths. • Approaching annexation in a comprehensive manner that promotes orderly growth, the efficient delivery of municipal services, and proactive planning for future development. • The conservation of Franklin’s natural features and open spaces are a priority, including preserving hillsides and hilltops, scenic corridors, floodplain areas, streams, and farmland. • The preservation of historic resources and protecting Franklin’s memorable community character are of paramount importance. • Connecting the community through streets, multi-use paths, sidewalks, and trails is highly valued.
