But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 58 Low: 42.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Franklin who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Franklin:

1. According to recent data from the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Williamson County still has the lowest unemployment rate in Tennessee. The county's rate is currently 2.4 percent. Despite the low rate, the county did see a 0.3 percent increase during Oct. A majority of Tennessee's counties had a rate below five percent. (Chattanoogan)
