The first Sustainability Community Action Plan was created in 2009 by a group of committed citizens with the support of City staff and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. More than 250 residents provided input into the Plan. Since that time, nine actions have been achieved and twelve are in the process of being completed. Sustainability in Franklin has been a communitydriven initiative and centered around cost savings and quality of life. This updated plan continues the legacy of community engagement and participation with the purpose of improving the quality of life and reducing municipal utility costs. It’s about doing things to reduce costs, positively affect people, and improve our local environment. The matrix on the next page shows what was achieved from the 2009 Sustainability Community Action Plan. 3
