A new Walmart will soon be located in front of the Murfreesboro Airport on Memorial Boulevard (all photos of that location).

You may recall it was almost exactly one year ago today that the Murfreesboro Planning Commission approved site plans for the Walmart on not only Memorial Boulevard, but also on South Church Street at County Farm Road. Homes are now being torn down and land is being cleared in front of the airport to make way for progress. Property on South Church Street will see land movers head into action in January. Only one home will be torn down at that location and that home has been vacant for several years.

We are told the Walmart on South Church Street will be constructed when the Joe B. Jackson Bridge is closer to completion. In other words, no definite date on when a Walmart will open on the south side of the ‘Boro in the Barfield area. However, the Walmart on Memorial Boulevard could be open by the end of 2014, if not sooner.
