Township planners hope to concentrate new developments around the township's boundary with Souderton and Telford Boroughs. Today, many signs of the old Pennsylvania German cultural practices can still be seen. It should be noted that some homes and businesses may have a Souderton or Telford mailing address, but are actually located in Franconia Township. The areas surrounding Souderton and Telford Boroughs and the small village of Franconia are serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the community.
Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies.
Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. Township facilities include two public parks that include softball fields. Tennis courts are also available. Little League programs are run by private organizations. A small neighborhood shopping center is available.
