Here are the top three stories today in Franklin:

1. Williamson County Schools are facing food shortages due to supply chain issues which are affecting some schools in Franklin. Schools are providing 30,000 meals a day to over 43,000 students with limited kitchen staff. "There's times we can't [meet USDA requirements] and that's because of the food shortages. We have to make modifications," explained James Remete, the Director of Food Services for Williamson County Schools. (WZTV)
2. The Franklin Historic Zoning Commission has moved to recommend denial of the recently revised site plans for Franklin Grove Estate and Gardens. The project was presented by The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County Monday. The final decision of whether or not to approve the plans will be decided at a joint work session with the city's planning commission on Feb. 24. (williamsonherald.com)
3. Franklin firefighters responded to a house fire on Long Lane yesterday morning. The fire was quickly extinguished and no one was injured. Firefighters found that the source of the fire was in the fireplace which spread to the framing materials causing $5,000 in damages. (Williamson Source)
