A bridge along Maury County s Polk Lane will soon jointly honor the legacy of the late former Maury County state representative and his wife, a longtime public servant for the community, who left an impact on the county after decades of stewardship.
The Maury County Commission unanimously passed on Monday a resolution, honoring the two Maury County natives by renaming the bridge along a rural road near Mt. Pleasant the Representative J. B. Napier and Shirley Napier Memorial Bridge.
The country bridge, which is currently undergoing repairs, over Isbell Branch, is located near the Napier family farm, which has been in possession of the family for multiple generations.
Maury County ceases drive-up tag renewal service
The Daily Herald
After about a year of offering a drive-up car tag renewal service, the office of the Maury County Clerk has ceased the program, citing lack of use.
Launched in June 2020, the office began offering the service in an effort to keep the most vulnerable members of the public safe amid the pandemic.
The pilot program formally came to an end in late May with few taking advantage of the service. It just didn t work, said Joey Allen, the county clerk. After many months, it just did not take off. I did not know if it would work or not, but it seemed like such a good idea, but it is so hard to educate people on what is available to them. It just kind of dried up.

Maury County Board of Education Chairman Michael Fulbright has successfully led a charge to put a temporary hold on the sale of Columbia’s historic McDowell Elementary School.
The board, which declared the property as surplus during this month s regular meeting on Tuesday, mostly agreed with the chair s proposal by voting in approval of holding off on selling the property until August.
Board member Austin Hooper cast the sole dissenting vote on the motion to postpone the sale, while Marlina Ervin cast the sole vote in opposition of declaring the property as surplus.
Fulbright plans to hold a meeting with Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder and Maury County Commission Chair Don Morrow to consider potential options for the property.
