Franklin has been named one of 20 finalists for the 2020 All-America City Award by the National Civic League (NCL) based on an application prepared jointly by the City of Franklin and Franklin Tomorrow.

“As an organization that promotes civic engagement and pride, Franklin Tomorrow is so proud that we could partner with the City of Franklin to pursue the National Civic League’s All-America City Award. Being named one of the 20 finalists makes me so proud to call Franklin home and reinforces the positive impact of Franklin Tomorrow,” Franklin Tomorrow Executive Director Mindy Tate said.

Franklin is the first Tennessee city since 1999 to be a finalist for the All-America City Award.

As a finalist, Franklin will be presenting to a panel of judges to tell Franklin’s story to compete to be one of the 10 winners of the All-America City Award. Franklin’s presentation will be streamed live at 10:25 a.m. CT on August 19 and the community is invited to show their civic pride and join in. You will be able to watch the presentation live on the All-America City Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AllAmericaCityAwards, and comments from the community are welcome.
