We are especially proud to share that Gina Stradley also serves as a member of our Advisory Board, helping guide the vision and growth of the Club right here in Wilson County. Her dedication to both her business and our community’s youth reflects the heart behind this mission.

Why Wilson County Needs a Boys & Girls Club

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog, Member Promotions.

The Boys & Girls Club of Wilson County is more important than ever as our community grows, and our youth need supportive spaces to learn, play, and thrive. Lebanon’s Ward 2 is home to more than 5,200 residents, with a young median age of about 34 years, showing that many families and children live right here where the Club will serve.

Across Lebanon and Wilson County, nearly one in four residents is under 18, illustrating the need for programs that provide safe after-school environments, youth development opportunities, and mentorship.

The Boys & Girls Club will help fill gaps by offering structured activities, caring adults, and a place where all kids can reach their full potential. By investing in our youth today, we help ensure a stronger, healthier Wilson County tomorrow.

Winter Storm Fern Cleanup Continues

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Mayors Blog.

Wilson County contractors are continuing the cleanup process along county-maintained roads following damage from Winter Storm Fern. Custom Tree Care, the county’s contracted debris removal provider, is actively working across the county. The company is working to clear vegetative storm debris and remove damaged trees and limbs from the right-of-way.

Cleanup teams are currently performing the following work throughout unincorporated areas of Wilson County:

  • Clearing storm debris from the public right of way.
  • Trimming and removing weakened or damaged trees identified as “leaners” and “hangers,” which pose a risk of falling into roadways.
  • Cutting and staging debris for later pickup by a separate collection crew.
  • Conducting multiple passes through all affected areas due to the significant volume of debris countywide.

Residents may see crews cutting and leaving debris temporarily in the right-of-way. This is part of the planned process; a dedicated pickup crew will return to collect all material. If crews have not yet reached a particular neighborhood, residents should expect to see them in the near future as operations continue.

Because of the extensive damage from Winter Storm Fern, cleanup is progressing as quickly and safely as possible. Crews will reach every area, and multiple passes will be made to ensure all eligible debris is collected.

All residents in unincorporated Wilson County must place storm-related debris in the right of way no later than March 29, 2026. This is the final date for debris to be set out for pickup.

All residents are asked to please use caution when driving near work zones and to provide crews with adequate space to operate safely.

Debris cleanup for residents living within the city limits of Lebanon or Mt. Juliet, or along state-maintained roads, is being handled by the respective municipality. Residents in these areas should follow their city’s specific guidance for storm debris disposal.

Wilson County officials extend their gratitude for the community’s patience and cooperation. Crews are working diligently to cover a large geographic area and ensure a safe and thorough recovery process.
