There is no doubt that Murfreesboro is on a roll, but Franklin is on at least as big a roll as the 'boro. The really big money is going to Franklin. Franklin landed the Nissan Headquarters project (1,300 new jobs paying an average of $90,000 per year!), and has landed many, if not most of the entire Nashville area corporate relocations. Williamson County is the 8th richest county in America in terms of per capita income and is nearly double that of Rutherford. There is MORE money in Franklin than there is in Murfreesboro despite the fact that Franklins population is only about 5/8th of Murfreesboro. Franklin businesses can draw from neighboring Brentwood residences and benefit from their huge spending power. Murfreesboro is simply too far away to draw that much from Brentwood or Franklin residents. Franklin is at least 10 miles closer to Nashville than Murfreesboro, and thus will be more likely to draw Nashville residents for shopping than can Murfreesboro. In my opinion, Muurfreesboro future is great, but Franklin's may even be greater.
