'Pocket Park' gets wrought iron installed

The anticipation of the grand gated entrance “Gateway to the Bayou Teche” of the Historic Downtown Franklin Pocket Park is almost complete.
The grounds work will begin shortly thereafter. Hanagriff's Machine Shop donated the gate at no charge.
The City of Franklin created a fully community funded project and the community responded.
“I would like to thank everyone that has purchased a brick, brick array or became a corporate sponsor thus far,” Mayor Eugene Foulcard said. “Many families and businesses have already purchased bricks to ensure their family legacy will be told for the next 200 years of Franklin history. Some have chosen to capture significant moments in their family history, business or event to ensure those memories live well beyond their present mark on Franklin. After the holidays we will begin spotlighting the individuals, families and businesses that have purchased bricks.”
There is still time to purchase, design bricks online. Anyone needing help to design a brick may contact City Inspector Glenn Todd at (337) 828-6358.
