The city of Murfreesboro recently announced the hiring of Smyrna Town Attorney Jeffrey L. Peach to be its next city attorney beginning in May. Peach has 17 years of experience as a Tennessee municipal attorney. He has served as town attorney for Smyrna since 2013 and was hired as a staff attorney in 2008. The Murfreesboro City Council voted to appoint Peach during a council meeting last week following a public interview at a council workshop in February. “Jeff Peach has faithfully served as town attorney and staff attorney for the town of Smyrna for more than 17 years, working on a number of important and complex legal matters, including civil litigation, employment, land use planning and zoning concerns, and other municipal legal issues,” Mayor Shane McFarland said.
