Franklin council weighs plan to designate area as impacted
About 20 residents attended a council work session to oppose the June 1 Planning Commission designation of the site between Fourth and Sixth streets Riley Boulevard and 1,500 feet east of Sunnybrook Drive as impacted. The status would allow a 20 year tax abatement of about $8,000 for the Harding House elderly apartments under a state aid program.

Water storage tank project eyed for southeast Franklin
City officials urged construction of a 500000 gallon water tank on Industrial Drive using a public works grant of 286000, trimming an earlier 899000 plan. The project targets two day supply and maintenance access, with local funds expected to cover about 400000. A separate bill would broaden zoning review by council and a weather siren upgrade received matching federal funds.

Middletown officials clash over labeling a neighborhood under the impacted cities program. City Manager Bernard Eichholz says the Harding House project could stabilize the area with a new landmark, while some council members call the designation premature and potentially costly. A June 27 work session is planned to review the program and subsidies.
