"If you're seeking to invest in a community, you'll find a difference here.

A stable, predictable tax rate coupled with reasonable real estate pricing makes this a destination for business and industry.

Our city is on the verge of dramatic change, even while we hold firm in our heritage and defend the natural wonder of this special place in the heart of New Hampshire.

The birthplace of Daniel Webster is located in the City of Franklin - and Webster was among the first order of statesmen in all of American history.

It is also the birthplace of the Merrimack River-- the economic, cultural, and historical lifeblood of New Hampshire.

We have a vibrant and fiercely proud community that is determined to rise.

We welcome any who are willing to dream and dare with us.

I urge you to visit our great city and join the Franklin Renaissance!"

Mayor Kenneth Merrifield
