What should we do with the Iron Works property?

The city of Franklin and the Mt. Zion Faith Ministry are asking the citizens of Franklin for ideas about what should become of the former St. Mary Iron Works property located at Fifth and West Ibert streets. A Community Visioning Meeting will be held 5 p.m.- 7 p.m. Monday at the Teche Theatre for feedback on preliminary plans for the site as wells as to hear ideas for its beneficial reuse to support the surrounding community. Only comments made at the community meeting will be taken into consideration by the Mt. Zion Faith Ministry. A rendering of Mt. Zion's plans will be unveiled at this meeting. Community ideas, if selected, will be added later. Light refreshments will be provided.
