Montgomery County, TN — Montgomery County Director of Emergency Medical Services Chief William Webb announces his retirement on May 12, 2023. Webb has served Montgomery County for more than 30 years. He worked his way up through serving in several capacities, from an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) to Paramedic, Emergency department Paramedic, EMS training officer, assistant chief of administration, and promoted to Chief of Emergency Medical Services in 2018.

“Working in emergency services is a calling. I’m grateful I chose this path and that I was able to work with some of the best people in the field for so many years. Montgomery County has an incredible team of 130 medical professionals ready and committed to the community. I will miss my EMS family but I am also excited about the next chapter,” said Webb.

Assistant EMS Chief of Operations Chris Proctor will serve as the interim director until the position is filled. Proctor has more than 27 years of experience with Montgomery County EMS.

Montgomery County, TN - The Bi-County Solid Waste Management St. Bethlehem Construction & Demolition Landfill at 4577 Guthrie Highway will be temporarily closed effective April 20, 2023. The closure will allow for soil movement and cell construction in preparation for the Landfill Expansion Permit issued by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). The permit to allow construction for the landfill expansion is expected to be approved by TDEC in the next week.  

"The expansion request and permitting have been part of a lengthy process between Bi-County Solid Waste and TDEC which began in early 2020. We are anxious to move forward and appreciate the public's understanding as we prepare the site," said Director of Bi-County Solid Waste Mark Neblett.

Bi-County staff expects the construction process to take approximately 30 days. Scheduling will depend on weather conditions and other external factors. The expansion is anticipated to extend the site's life another nine to 12 years. The temporary shutdown will not affect the ability for Montgomery County or Stewart County residents or businesses to dispose of debris.

"Due to the volume of construction traffic and the size of the current tipping area, it is in the best interest of customers, contract workers, and Bi-County employees to implement this temporary shutdown for the safety of everyone involved," added Neblett.

During the shutdown, trucks with shingle trailers will be accepted at the main landfill on 3212 Dover Road only from those with a Montgomery or Stewart County driver's license, effective April 20, 2023, until further notice.  

If you have any questions, please call 931-648-5751.

“Our community grieves for the nine lives lost in last night’s tragic helicopter crash in Trigg County, Kentucky. We mourn for the soldiers and for the nine families who will forever be affected by the loss of their loved ones. 

Tragedies involving Fort Campbell service members affect everyone in Montgomery County because we are one big community. The service members and their families are our friends and neighbors. Our children attend school together, we live next door to each other, and we worship in the same churches.

Montgomery County is here for the families and for those who served with the nine service members of the 101st who died in the incident involving the two Black Hawk helicopters. We love them and are praying for them. Whatever we as a community can do to help, we will. If there is one thing this week has taught us, we need to take time to tell and show our family and friends how much we love them.”

- Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden
