Lebanon County Resolution Pushes Sewer Plant to Stay Within City Limits
Wilson County Commissioner Jerry McFarland proposes a resolution to ensure Lebanon's new sewer plant remains within city limits. The resolution is set for a vote by the Wilson County Commission, with support from county officials amid community concerns.

The Wilson County Commission will vote on a resolution aimed at ensuring Lebanon's new sewer plant is located within city limits. Commissioner Jerry McFarland, who represents District Five, emphasized the county's opposition to placing the facility outside city limits, citing community pushback.
The Lebanon Wastewater Treatment Plant Site Selection Committee is currently evaluating one viable site within the city, where Rockwood operates. Concerns regarding environmental impact and property values will influence the site selection process.
While the resolution lacks immediate legal authority, it could play a crucial role in potential future litigation. Additionally, Commissioner McFarland's re-election campaign is intertwined with this issue, reflecting broader community sentiments on development.
