"The life and times of Frank Willis mayor of Florence, SC from 1995 to 2008. Florence was at a crossroads of sorts. The Florence Civic Center fight was over and the local university, Francis Marion University was mature and starting to grow; international and national business were noticing Florence and starting to come to Florence. The community was changing. Mayor Frank seized the opportunity and arose to great success. Mayor Frank's opportunity: a change in the attitude of Florence about growth and development symbolized by the new Civic Center, funding potential from the new Drs.
