Great step.

I noticed on the towns website that they seemed to be making a good step in the right direction to getting some light to shine on new businesses, and the small ones also.

The Murfreesboro Post has a section where they list all new business licenses in the county a month at a time.

For example in Smyrna in June the following business got a license.

This is not all of the businesses, as a business does not need a license until they have a certain amount of income. I'm not sure how they will get the names for this information site, but I'm glad they are starting down this path.

Take note of the comic book store highlighted. Yippee! Just a short step from a bookstore. Soon my precious. Soon.
