Work force:
A traditional bedroom community, Franklin County residents are realizing high fuel cost and climate changes will continue to force residents to shorten their commute to work.  With thousands (500 plus manufacturing) of county residents leaving the county for employment, Franklin County has an over abundant supply of blue and white collar workers ready for a change and stay closer to home.
