- The Brownland Farm Development has once again been pushed back for more study after two hours of debate over new changes offered to the city by the developer, Kevin Estes, on the afternoon of the day of the meeting. In a September meeting, new information had been discovered at the last minute about flood zone changes by city staff causing the issue to be deferred. Estes and Franklin staff worked together for the past month to solve a myriad of issues, including securing emergency access in the event of a flood. (Williamson Source)
