44 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts SITE DESIGN Art Public art and public art programs are highly encouraged in the Factory District. They provide many benefits, including enhancing the sense of place, encouraging public gathering and pedestrian walkability, and bringing art and artists to the public realm for citizens and residents to enjoy. Sculptures, decorative benches and crosswalks, interactive art, murals, and/or other art elements should be strategically placed in prominent locations for public viewing. The Franklin Public Arts Commission and the Historic Zoning Commission, as applicable, provide guidance to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on public art.
