At our recent Franklin Park Community Conversations, we had engaging discussions on housing, focusing on common issues in Franklin Park, such as pests and the need for improved enforcement of ordinances and complaint systems for city residents. By partnering with residents, community members, leaders, and partners, we aim to make small changes that will have significant impacts. Our commitment to these conversations remains steadfast, and we are hopeful to see improvements made right here in Franklin Park for the broader community. We also celebrated the achievements of our long-time Franklin Park resident, Carol Gonzalez, who recently received the Lehigh County Office of Aging Unsung Hero Award for her outstanding work and contributions to the community. 🎖 City of Allentown Allentown Parking Authority COUNTY OF LEHIGH Ripple Community Inc.Families First in Franklin Park
