# Economic Development Commission Meeting 7-30-2026 - 6 PM

The City of Franklin Economic Development Commission met on July 30, 2026. The commission reviewed the Planning Department’s update to the city’s future land-use plan and industrial and retail site prioritization, including proposed uses near 76th Street and Ryan Road and properties near the landfill. Members approved the updated prioritization by motion and vote. The discussion addressed land-use constraints such as conservation easements, hydric soils, and watershed rules; no contract awards, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.

The commission voted to enter closed session to consider potential commercial, industrial, and manufacturing development and related governmental actions; the transcript does not report details or subsequent action from that session. Members also discussed planning the business appreciation event, including speaker and award nominations, and agreed to investigate holding a nonpartisan candidate forum. The next meeting was set for August 27, 2026.
