The biggest challenge facing the township will be providing service during this economic crisis.

| What would you name as the biggest challenge for Franklin Township and what solutions would you as trustee suggest to meet that challenge? | ||
Franklin Township is unique in that it is made up of residents living in the unincorporated part as well as residents living in the cities of Franklin, Carlisle, Middletown and Springboro School District. Thus the trustee's biggest challenge is finding a way to work in cooperation with the other municipalities in stretching the tax payer dollars to continue providing services needed to have a safe environment for the approximately 30,000 people living within its borders. | ||
