Murfreesboro, TN - A major announcement was made by Rutherford County Mayor Joe Carr Wednesday (7/31/2024) on WGNS. He said planning is in progress to move all offices from the Goldstein's building on the south side of the square and convert that area into additional museum space. The displays in the Historic Courthouse helps draw people to the square, and this should attract even more.  

Carr explained... WGNS asked, "That's a significant number of offices. Where would you relocate them?" 

WGNS News also asked the mayor, "Why are you are concentrating on deserted buildings that have been empty for quite some time?"  Mayor Carr indicated that vacant drugstores, grocery stores and the like would be perfect for library branches . What size buildings are needed...

Where do you plan to locate the proposed new library branches?  Mayor Carr noted that the new branches could be in the Blackman Community, the South Church Street area that is beyond I-24, as well as the Siegel High School area.
