Bill > HJR7005

This Joint Resolution is an official legislative action by the Tennessee General Assembly—which is the state’s bicameral legislature made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate—to formally honor and celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the grand reopening of the historic Franklin Theatre. Located on Main Street in Franklin, Tennessee, the venue serves as a major cultural anchor for the community and Williamson County, having returned to prominence following a massive restoration project led by the Heritage Foundation (a local non-profit organization dedicated to historic preservation) that culminated in its modern reopening in 2011. Through this resolution, the state legislature officially recognizes the theatre's enduring contributions to local arts and entertainment, extends its congratulations, and wishes the venue continued success in the future.
