Residents ask for updates on 1.5 MGD wastewater project and Franklin Springs property status
Summary
Two residents asked the council for an update on a planned 1.5 million gallon-per-day wastewater treatment plant and whether downtown or Franklin Springs properties are under contract; council response indicated the wastewater project is still moving forward and no Franklin Springs or downtown properties are currently under contract.
During the public comment portion of the Franklin Springs council meeting, two residents sought updates on local development and wastewater infrastructure.
A property seller on Highway 145 said multiple developers had expressed interest in the land but that "the last contract we had is terminated um because the cost of lifting the waste water up to 29," a phrase recorded in the transcript without clarified units. The speaker asked for any update on the project timeline; council did not provide a specific timetable in the recorded discussion.
Miss Lindro asked directly, "are we still working on building the 1.5 million gallon per day water wastewater treatment plant?" The council’s response, as recorded in the meeting, indicated the project is still moving forward. When asked whether any downtown development property or Franklin Springs Development Authority properties were under contract, the council replied that no such contracts were in place at this time.
The transcript does not identify which councilor or staff member provided the verbal confirmations to the public comments, and it does not contain engineering or financing details about the wastewater project. The council did not announce dates, contract names, dollar amounts, or a timeline for next steps in the recorded remarks.
