What do you like about working and/or living in Franklin County? Franklin County is a great place to live and work because there is so much opportunity here if you are ambitious enough to go after it. Franklin County being the 4th fastest growing county in PA since 2000 and still having room to grow says a lot. What I personally love about Franklin County is that it can be the center of everything for great growth and development commercially, but still preserve a lot of the country and farmlands that make it so beautiful.
