(The Center Square) — Smyrna city officials agreed to move forward with a plan to buy a historic church for a downtown expansion.
Under the plan, Smyrna officials would buy the 8.9-acre Smyrna First Baptist Church campus for $15.8 million. After selling, the church would lease the building from the city for up to four years while they build their new structure on a 5.5-acre tract of land they plan to purchase from the city for $3.3 million.
