Recommendation


1. Create a 20 – 25 Year Master Plan for the Town of Murfreesboro

2. Build a Historical Trail/Path through Murfreesboro

3. Increase Lodging Opportunities for Murfreesboro Visitors

4. Develop a Stronger Partnership between Chowan University and Murfreesboro.

NEXT STEPS
The next step for addressing these recommendations is for the Murfreesboro Town Council to form an ad hoc committee, such as a Town Master Planning Task Force. This committee could work first with a Chowan University group for early consulting services. If budget allows, this committee could eventually hire a planning consultant to assist with:
1. Create a Murfreesboro Vision Statement based off public input that captures a sense of Murfreesboro’s identity, values, and what makes it special.
2. Perform a market analysis – what are the town’s needs in terms of lodging, parking, and other amenities?
3. Prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Historical Trail/Path, including for landscaping, and adaptive reuse aspects.
