The Town of Franklin is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the development of a recreation plan for the Whitmire Property from qualified firms.
The Town of Franklin is seeking qualified consultants with proven experience in developing comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plans with comparable municipal entities. The Town developed a Town-wide Comprehensive Plan that included recreational planning which was adopted June 1, 2020.
The Town of Franklin has a large tract of land (12.71 acres) known as the Whitmire Property that has been in its possession since December 2004. The Town Council has agreed that having an area for outdoor recreational opportunities in town would be of benefit and authorized that a portion of the property be used for such. The enhancements to the Whitmire Property should also be in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan and BikeWalk Franklin plan adopted in 2017.
