 The Franklinton Floodwall, completed in 2004, is 7 miles long, cost $134 million, and is able to protect the area to crests of up to 30.9 ft.The wall's completion has released the area from being considered a floodplain, as well as releasing the previous building restrictions that often prevented development in the past.As a result, commercial and industrial activities are starting to grow in the East Franklinton Area.
