Liberty Grove Town Board Chairperson John Lowry is happy to see activity at local businesses as people warm up to the idea of traveling. Lowry made headlines in the New York Times at the beginning of pandemic, asking non-residents to stay away to help the community as a whole keep healthy and to not tax local medical services. The town was one of the first to issue an emergency declaration so it could receive emergency aid to recuperate some of its coronavirus-related expenses. Although he would like to see more masks, Lowry says the feedback they have received has been positive.

Lowry hopes things continue to go a little bit closer to normal even if it still looks different than in the past. The town of Liberty Grove extended their emergency declaration earlier this month to June 30th to match the Village of Sister Bay.
