A major step for the future of Mariners Park in the Town of Liberty Grove has its real estate listing. The town is currently accepting bids for the home on the Gills Rock property it purchased back in 2018 for $1.45 million. The home’s former owner Betty Weborg was allowed to live at the site until this point. The winning bid will have to move the home by the end of the year. Town chairperson John Lowry says the sale will be another step towards a park being developed.

Lowry says the site does have some benches for people to enjoy, but it will be three to five years before the park’s full potential is realized. Sealed bids with a $1,000 payment must be submitted by July 6th at 4 p.m. The bids will be discussed at the town board meeting scheduled for July 7th at 7 p.m.

The picture features a plan that was previously suggested to the town board prior to the formation of the Mariners Park ad hoc committee.
