Mission:

The City of Murfreesboro strives to provide a safe, progressive and healthy community for its citizens by employing dedicated individuals who work together to ensure the highest possible quality of life. Your city is committed to creating a better quality of life and making Murfreesboro a great city in which to live, work and play.

Named the Most Livable Town in Tennessee, Murfreesboro is the fastest growing city in the state - and it's not hard to see why. Murfreesboro provides the quality of life that attracts growth - plentiful housing, excellent schools, employment opportunities, outstanding services, recreational programs and regional medical facilities. The City is also home to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU); among Tennessee's fastest growing universities.

Murfreesboro's past is alive and well. The Stones River National Battlefield, Cannonsburgh Pioneer Village, Oaklands Historic House Museum, Bradley Academy Historical Museum and our historic district designation have preserved our city's past. In addition, our residents and visitors enjoy a charming historic downtown square filled with unique shops and places to dine.

Today, Murfreesboro is enjoying unprecedented growth in its housing, restaurant and retail development. Our city is keeping pace with this growth; a 1996 survey named Murfreesboro the highest performing city in Tennessee and within the top 1 percent of the most efficient cities in the country.
