Franklinton Council members were told at their last meeting that a tall fence will be installed at a metal recycling business now located at the former site of Thigpen Concrete, south of downtown Franklinton.
Franklinton Metal Recycling is just off of Lee Street. At present, there is plenty of scrap metal piled on the site. However, Council members were assured that an 8-foot tall metal fence is to be erected, shielding the public from viewing the scrap metal at the facility.
Jerod Steven, a principal of the company, introduced himself to the Council. Tours of the facility were offered if any Council members were interested.
The general consensus seemed to be that once the fence is installed the view will be blocked and there shouldn't be a problem.
