MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — The mayor of Murfreesboro said the city is “in the best financial shape” it’s ever been in, but he said that doesn’t mean every project residents want to see completed will happen as quickly as they hope.
In his annual “State of the City” address, Mayor Shane McFarland laid out his vision for the future of Murfreesboro’s downtown, how it will manage solid waste, traffic concerns, and other projects of interest.
“My one wish that I could say for the City of Murfreesboro,” said McFarland “It would be to snap your finger and all the road projects be done at one time.”

McFarland said one of the top concerns he hears about is traffic and congestion and about 80% of their capital improvement plans are spent on transportation projects and there are about 54 road projects currently happening in Murfreesboro.
“All the easy road projects in Murfreesboro…we’ve done all those road projects now,” said McFarland.
