Office of Communications

The Franklin County Commissioners are dedicated to maintaining transparency related to the County’s operations, actions, programs, objectives, and achievements. The Office of Communications plays a vital role in this initiative by offering open, honest, con­sistent messaging and timely dissemination of information to internal and external audiences.

Our department works diligently to deliver information to Franklin County citizens. 

Our goal is to keep all audiences informed, educated, and engaged using traditional, digital, and emerging media outlets. The department oversees communications for the Commissioners’ Office and provides communications support for all county departments. We also work hand-in-hand with the Department of Emergency Services to boost emergency communications in the event of a crisis.
