Franklin rebuilds in tornados wake in Kansas town
In Franklin Kansas the 2003 tornado destroyed much but spurred a revival as 250 people gathered for the dedication of a new 4000 square foot Franklin Community Center. The center honors the town’s past with photos, a salvaged floor stage, and a bell from St. Philip Neri Church. Local leaders credit federal funds, insurance, and donations for the $480000 project begun four months after the disaster near Pittsburg and Joplin. The town, founded 1907, once had 1700 residents and now houses about 450 in 200 homes as more rebuilding is planned after the sewer system is completed next year.
