The City of Murfreesboro and State Transportation officials, along with elected officers, will gather to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Murfreesboro Transit Center.
The groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, at the intersection of New Salem Hwy and Bridge Ave (324 New Salem Hwy).
The City of Murfreesboro has been awarded $9 million in Tennessee Improve Act funds in three separate awards from the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for the Murfreesboro Transit Center.
