What is a Comprehensive Plan?
The City of Murfreesboro approved a comprehensive plan, Murfreesboro 2035, in 2017. The city partnered with residents, local business owners, and community leaders to plan for the next 20 years of growth and development.
The final result of the two-year planning process is the City of Murfreesboro’s Comprehensive Plan, a community guidebook that specifies policy, program, and project initiatives for the City. The plan elements include major functions of the City, including transportation, land use, housing and neighborhoods, parks and recreation, public facilities, historic preservation, and economic development with a focus on population growth and infrastructure.
Location of Feb. 23, 2022 Meeting:
Rotunda, City Hall 111 West Vine Street Murfreesboro, TN
