We had a great time hosting Student Engagement Day at the Franklin County Engineer’s Office! Students had the opportunity to learn firsthand about the many careers that keep our county moving, from engineering and surveying to operations and maintenance. It was a great opportunity to spark curiosity and highlight the many paths available in public service and infrastructure. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the day a success!
