Thump It Somewhere Else

The Rutherford County Commission forsook a group of developers hoping to build a Bible Park in the Murfeesboro area:

SafeHarbor Holding LLC, the park’s developer, was seeking rezoning of 282 acres north of state Route 840 and west of Florence Road from a residential zoning to a planned unit development to allow the construction of the park.

At 1 a.m. Friday nine commissioners voted against the rezoning and 12 voted for it, but that was not enough to make the two-thirds majority required.

In other news, the NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Rutherford County area with heavy lightning and the possibility of tornadoes expected.
