Sam’s Club is looking to build a new store along South Hartmann Drive in Lebanon, according to information discussed at a work session for city council members on Thursday.
Project Soaring Eagle is the code name for the Sam’s Club project, according to Lebanon Mayor Rick Bell.
A work session was held Thursday as city council members, the mayor and other staff went through infrastructure improvements that would support and lead to the new Sam’s Club being built north of Interstate 40, on land across from Home Depot, Lebanon council member Chris Crowell said.
Bell and Economic Development Director Sarah Haston have been working on the Sam Club’s project for two years, according to the mayor.
“This will create millions of dollars in sales tax and property tax revenue for the City of Lebanon,” Bell said. “Lebanon draws consumers from a wide area. I believe Sam’s Club will expand that area even more.”
Necessary infrastructure improvements will include the construction of a new road to support the store, Crowell said.
