While driving along Columbia Avenue in Franklin, it is hard to miss the several construction sites.
We took a closer look and found out what is going on.

Williamson County Enrichment Center
Adjacent to the Williamson County Public Library, RG Anderson is building a $9 million enrichment center. It is located at 112 Everbright Avenue on the Academy Park Campus. Set where Battle Ground Academy’s Fleming Hall once stood, it will provide senior and therapeutic recreation programs, fitness and dance classes, community potlucks, special events and more. The center will be a state of the art facility built on the site of the original Battle Ground Academy campus where the rich history of the county has been preserved, while the ever-changing needs of a growing community are still being met.
In addition to the construction of the Enrichment Center, the old Coverdale Hall building, constructed in 1905, will be renovated as a center for the arts. The building, that now sits empty, will be brought to life as a theatre, performing arts venue and art gallery. The Performing Arts Center will become the home of Williamson County Parks Rec’s Star Bright Players Children’s Theatre, housing a 200-seat state-of-the-art theatre space for dramatic productions, musical performances, camps and workshops. Both buildings will be available for rental to the public for meetings, events and theatrical productions. Williamson County Parks and Recreation will manage the two new centers, which were originally slated to open this spring.
