The town of Liberty Grove received good news regarding its plans to build affordable housing on the site of a former motel. Land that was contaminated near the former Val-A Motel has been removed from the county at a cost of about $10,000 to the town. With the contamination gone and the land getting a clean bill of health, Town chairperson John Lowry says now its focus can turn towards redeveloping it so it can address one of the area’s biggest needs.

The town will also discuss potentially extending its public health emergency declaration to match the Village of Sister Bay when it meets Wednesday via Zoom Conference at 7 p.m. Lowry says the declaration puts the town in line for much-needed funds because of the response to COVID-19.
