Franklin County Technical School invites residents, town officials, and community and business leaders from all 19 of our member towns to attend our upcoming Community Forum about the proposed new Franklin County Technical School building project.

The public session will be held on Tuesday, February 10 from 6-8 p.m. at Greenfield Community College, 1 College Drive, Greenfield, MA.

This is the second of three community forums being hosted by FCTS about the proposed new school. The third session will be on May 4 at GCC.

In addition, the projected fiscal impact to the district towns will be communicated to ensure transparency and understanding of the financial considerations involved.
