On today’s WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker sat down with Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland for an in-depth conversation covering several of the city’s most pressing and talked-about issues. The mayor provided new insight into the ongoing lawsuit involving the Middle Point Landfill, explaining how the case could impact long-term waste management and quality-of-life concerns for area residents. He also updated listeners on a number of major road projects currently underway across Murfreesboro, detailing timelines, expected improvements, and how the city is working to ease traffic congestion.

Mayor McFarland discussed fresh developments surrounding the once-proposed Notes Live concert venue on Medical Center Parkway. While those plans fell through last year, a new party has stepped forward with interest in building a large conference center on the same property—potentially transforming the site into a hospitality and event destination. The conversation then shifted to downtown, where the mayor highlighted the One East College project and another significant mixed-use development planned for the intersection of Broad Street and South Church Street, featuring residential units, office space, retail, and new restaurant offerings.

From lawsuits to development, infrastructure to economic growth, today’s Action Line packed in a full agenda of important updates. Listeners can hear the complete conversation—and get caught up on several other hot topics—by checking out the full podcast.
