A group of Franklin Township residents on Tuesday night were able to sway Franklin Township supervisors as to where grant funds will be spent.
The April township meeting opened with a public hearing to discuss the 2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding allocation which was conducted by Judy Borger, director of Carbon County Office of Planning and Development.
Borger began her presentation by explaining why Franklin Township is eligible for entitlement funding. She said that over the course of 10 years that Franklin Township has been awarded about $1 million.
