Franklinton Louisiana is a very nice place to live, however, many of the older, lifelong residents refuse to allow the area to grow. Stores are closing, Dairies are closing, there are several abandoned business buildings in town. This has been brought about by the stubborness of the older folk resisting change. Franklinton can remain a good place to live and raise a family but,more businesses and job opportunitys HAVE to be brought in to sustain life here. A super wal mart is needed, at this time residents spend their tax dollars in other communities where we see none of the tax money returned to Franklinton. Archaic alcohol laws are in effect causing an additional drain on the tax base to other localities, businesses such as APPLEBEES will not open here as long as they cannot sell alcolholic beverages. All of the above take tax money and contribute to the decline of Franklinton and Washington parish as a whole.....God Help Us ALL
