Supervisor Franklin was thrilled to see over 80 community members attend the Woodbridge Town Hall. She encourages residents to continue to attend district events and reach out to the Woodbridge District Office for help with community issues.
“I am thankful for the number of residents who came to our first Woodbridge Town Hall. This shows we have a strong community that’s willing to work together and move Woodbridge forward. I’m looking forward to following up with our constituents and guaranteeing that their needs are put first,” Supervisor Franklin said.
