UPCOMING EVENTS
All voices are welcome at our table to identify strategic priorities.
@Home in Franklin County is planning a Deliberative Forum on housing to be held Saturday, April 25, 2026. Similar to the Adams County forum, this event will bring together a diverse group of randomly selected residents to learn about local housing trends, discuss community priorities, and explore potential solutions. The forum is designed to gather informed community input that can guide future housing, transportation, and economic development efforts in Franklin County. A briefing document will be developed to support the discussion and will be posted on the website as soon as it is finalized.
We launched the @Home in Franklin County Coalition and are eager to welcome all voices to the table and identify strategic priorities. Coyle Free Library Conservatory on the Terrace Level. 102 N Main Street in Chambersburg, PA 17201.
