Franklin's 250th Anniversary Committee empowers budget panel on grant spending. At its May 28 meeting, the committee unanimously authorized the Budget Sub Committee to make necessary spending decisions for the FY 26 State Grant, which must be spent by June 30 and faces challenges particularly around completing illustrations for a children's book.
