Murfreesboro City Council approves rezoning, development deals, housing and public-safety grants

Murfreesboro ' The Murfreesboro City Council on Oct. 23 approved a package of ordinances, resolutions, grant acceptances and contracts affecting development, housing services and public safety.

The council approved two rezoning ordinances on second and final reading and passed Resolution 25-R-31 to adopt an amended and restated economic impact plan, a development agreement and related property purchase and sale agreements for the Keystone Bridal Street redevelopment project. Council also approved a development agreement for "Project Spring," a roughly 171-acre site at the intersection of Epps Mill Lane and Manchester Highway that is outside the city's infill sewer service boundary; the agreement authorizes sewer service under terms that require payment of connection fees, installation of private grinder pumps and a dedicated force main to be maintained by the city.

Why it matters: the measures move several development projects and funding decisions forward and commit city resources through agreements, contracts and budgeted purchases.
