The Murfreesboro City Council will have a special meeting this week to discuss issues like reorganization, building security and remodeling, economic development and future council workshops.

The meeting will take place Thursday at 4pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall (111 West Vine Street).

You may recall, earlier this month the city launched a new Development Services Division as the first step in the process of reorganizing the City's administrative structure.

The intention of the new division is to begin the process of streamlining the span of control into five divisions, plus Police and Fire departments, under City Manager Craig Tindall.

Development Services, under Sam Huddleston, along with newly promoted Assistant City Manager for Development and Coordination Gary Whitaker, will work to enhance the City's economic development.

The focus will include re-developing downtown, utilizing tax increment financing incentives, locating the next major planned development area, and implementing the Historic Bottoms and Highland Park Avenue studies.
