Franklin County’s Finance department is keeping its tradition of maintaining high standards of financial reporting.
For the 22nd consecutive year, the county has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).
