In the City,” hosted by CityTV’s Michael Linn White, brings another edition filled with exciting developments and activities in the vibrant City of Murfreesboro. This May edition takes viewers on a journey through several key projects and events happening around the city.
One of the highlights is the Town Creek culvert project, which is set to be daylighted to create an urban park. This initiative aims to revitalize an area that has been hidden underground for decades. CityTV’s Steve Burris delves into the history of Town Creek and the ongoing work to transform the space, with insights from City Project Engineer Gabriel Moore and the Ragan Smith team. Viewers can explore this project further through a dedicated segment available on YouTube.
The show also features the transformation of public housing near downtown Murfreesboro, with a focus on Oaklands I and II. The Murfreesboro Housing Authority, led by Executive Director Thomas Rowe, has undertaken a seven-year redevelopment project to provide 150 new affordable homes. Mayor Shane McFarland and Councilwoman Madelyn Scales Harris are among those celebrating this achievement, highlighting the importance of affordable housing solutions in the community.
In addition to these projects, “In the City” covers a range of topics including Earth Day celebrations, the Solar Eclipse viewing, the Read to Succeed Spelling Bee, and the construction of Legacy Pointe by Habitat for Humanity. The program also touches on the popular ‘Lunch on the Plaza’ event, the M’boro Traffic Minute focusing on left turn issues, and a special feature on dolls from the Mid Tenn Doll Club displayed at Cannonsburgh Village.
