State of the City Address 2024

The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce hosted City of Lebanon, TN – Government Mayor Rick Bell, on April 18, for the State of the City Address at Capitol Theatre. From the future developments of restaurants to the quality of life supported by our local hospitals & first responders, Mayor Bell painted a picture of a thriving city. With a recently lowered crime rate & positive growth as a top priority, it is evident that our city is headed in a great direction.

Mayor Bell extended his gratitude to our local business owners for their unwavering support of our economy. Their dedication underscores the importance of of nurturing our local businesses, which are the backbone of our community.

Bell told an anecdote about Earl Majors, a Castle Heights graduate, paired with a baseball from the City Museum, signed by Majors. Majors signed the baseball in 1965 after scoring the first homerun on our current field. What does a baseball have to do with the current state of the city? Mayor Bell discussed exciting plans to meet with City Council regarding a phase II of the sports complex, highlighting the need for expansion. With only one field currently serving 190 baseball/softball teams, the approval of a second phase is not only a want but a necessity.

Thank you Mayor Bell & City Council in their efforts to shape a brighter future for Lebanon.
