Opportunity grows here.

THREE WAYS WE MOVE FORWARD

People. Business. Place.

FEATURED OPPORTUNITY

Help build the future of Franklin County’s skilled trades.

This potential workforce development program is intended to support skilled trades businesses, job creation and expansion. Interest forms are open through November 20, 2026. Funding is not yet secured.
