On February 10 and 11, a number of master plan options for redevelopment at Parkside and Mercury Court, two affordable housing neighborhoods in Murfreesboro near Patterson Park Community Center, will be presented to residents and the community. The first round of public engagement was January 27 and 28; the second round is next week, February 10 and 11, and a final master plan will presented back to the community February 24 and 25.
