Progress to highlight the leaders of Franklin County

It is the near the end of February, and at The Franklin County Times that means one thing — the Progress edition is coming soon.

This year’s theme is “40 Under 40: The Future of Franklin County” and will profile residents throughout Franklin County who are up-and-coming people who impact their communities and will help shape the future of the county.

We have profile stories on business owners, teachers, public officials, lawyers, bankers, students and many others.

The staff at The Franklin County Times has worked hard preparing this edition and hopes our readers will enjoy reading about the residents profiled within the publication.

Progress 2011 will be included in the Feb. 26 edition of The Franklin County Times. Be sure to pick up a copy and see who in your community made our list.
