Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I would like to express my sincere concerns and safety measures to the citizens of Franklinton. I know that you have experienced unprecedented challenges concerning the spread of the COVID-19 and Delta virus. I am praying for those who are sick and those who have lost a loved one to this pandemic. As a community, we will get through this together.

Please keep the following safety guidelines to minimize the potential of virus exposure: wear your mask; wash your hands; avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; avoid close contact with people who are sick; clean frequently touched surfaces; if you are sick, please contact your health care provider.

It is a pleasure and a joy to serve as your mayor.
