Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

According to today’s Smyrna AM edition of the Daily News Journal, US Representative Bart Gordon has secured funding to expand Rutherford County’s greenway system. As part of the expansion, the greenways in Smyrna will be connected to those in La Vergne. One section will connect the Walter Hill Dam area greenway to Smyrna, and the other will connect La Vergne and Smyrna’s greenways through Long Hunter State Park. The end result will be a greenway running from downtown Nashville to La Vergne, Smyrna, and Murfreesboro.

Smyrna’s greenway system presently runs from Percy Priest Lake and branches out toward the Towne Center and toward Old Jefferson Pike. You can find a map of the greenway system on the town of Smyrna’s website.

Nearly all of Smyrna’s neighborhoods are locatated nearby the greenway system or a short drive from the greenway system. If you’re looking for a home in Rutherford County, be sure to try the MLS tool found on my website, http://www.terryrosshomes.com

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

According to the Daily News Journal, Smyrna residents will be able to recycle Christmas trees at Lee Victory Park until January 14. Lee Victory Park is located on Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna, near the airport and golf course. Residents are asked to remove all decorations before recycling their trees.

While you’re cleaning out the house, remember that there are Goodwill pick-ups at the county waste facilities off Weakley Lane and Almaville Road. This is a great time of year to get your tax deduction and do a good deed at the same time!

Speaking of tax deductions, home mortgage interest is a great tax deduction offered by Uncle Sam every year. You can search for a new home from my website at http://www.terryrosshomes.com.
