Underground service and a truly self-healing distribution system improves customer service within the automation zone. The growth of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, U.S., presented the Murfreesboro Electric Department (MED) with a unique opportunity. In 2005, the city constructed Medical Center Parkway, a 4-mile (6.4-km) gateway from the interstate to the town center. In addition to a new hospital with more than 200 beds, many new businesses were attracted to this location. A new Embassy Suites Hotel with a convention center was planned, and the area attracted a 100-acre (40.5-hectare) mall along with many other medical offices, shopping venues and restaurants.
