Vanderbilt University Medical Center is trying again to build a hospital in Rutherford County after the state denied their initial proposal last year. 

Officials with the medical center on Wednesday announced they intend to file a certificate of need request to Tennessee’s Health Services and Development Agency to build a $144 million, 42-bed hospital in the same location at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Interstate 840 in Murfreesboro.
