Our purpose

The purpose of the Downtown Neighborhood Association is to help citizens of Franklin’s original 15-block downtown area “exercise greater control over the economic, political, environmental and social forces that influence their ways of life; to promote understanding among property owners, residents, government and business interests; to foster neighborhood identity and a sense of community; to cooperate and affiliate in appropriate ways with other local, state and national organizations having compatible goals.”

"The downtown area is recognized as a unique area of the community, whose long-term health and viability are critical to the success of the Franklin community. Downtown is the symbolic and historic heart of the community."
-- from the Franklin, Tennessee, Land Use Plan (9/15/2003 draft)
