FRANKLIN – City of Franklin Mayor Ken Moore has announced the date for his first “State of the City” Address: Liberty Hall in The Factory at Franklin, on April 27 at 7:45 a.m., doors open at 7:00 and breakfast will be available.

“Last year’s state of the City address at the Factory was so well received that we wanted to again make it a community event.

Last year’s state of the City address drew more than 400 people.”

The theme of this year’s speech is “The Spirit of Franklin.” Mayor Moore will discuss some of the unique aspects of Franklin’s community spirit that make it a special place to live, work and visit including: the entrepreneurial spirit and growth, the spirit of public service, and Franklin’s caring community spirit, on the one year anniversary of the historic flood that hit Franklin and Middle Tennessee.
