COME BE THE CHANGE!
The NE Franklin Revitalization group sponsored its second Business Showcase on June 13, 2022 at Red Bud Baptist Church to spotlight entrepreneurs in Franklin County and to see what challenges are faced as a small rural business. We heard their success stories as well!
The purpose of our group is to help revitalize northeastern Franklin County, with focus on economic growth and development. A few of our major goals include helping bring broadband to those who have little or no Internet, promoting agritourism, supporting community events, seeking business and community grants, seeking improved cell phone coverage, and helping market home-based businesses. Hearing from these small businesses gave us ideas of how we can best help overcome some of these challenges.
Here's a list of the participating businesses.
