SEPT 20th - 9am-4pm
The Liberty Town Council has updated the parking ordinances and fee schedules as of July 2025.
As the town grows, our limited parking resources have become strained. The Town Council has listened to the businesses and updated those ordinances. The Liberty Police Department will enforce these updated ordinances. Of course, we would strongly prefer to not have to fine you (who can afford to throw away $20, $50 or even $250?) so we are trying to warn you.
Please be aware things like parking on the left side of the street, parking over 2 hrs in the downtown restricted spaces, blocking driveways, fire hydrants and alleys are in violation of the parking ordinance. Parking within 15' of an intersection or within 30' of any traffic control signal or device installed at an intersection, regardless of whether the vehicle is located within or outside of the public right-of-way and "Jake Braking" is also prohibited.
Parking or standing in any Fire Lane remains a violation. We will have the ordinances posted on the Police Department website as soon as possible for you to review.

Seeking Members for Mural Committee
The Town of Liberty Town Council is seeking applications for creating a mural committee for the Town of Liberty. With this committee, you will meet regularly (potentially 1x/month) to develop a mural policy for the Town and present this to Town Council. Two staff members from the Town of Liberty, specifically Janie Konyek and Jessica Brown will be included in the meetings to provide assistance and guidance as needed. Once the policy is developed, this will be presented to Town Council for discussion and hopeful adoption. When a policy is adopted, the Committee will then meet as needed to review mural submissions for the Town. Appointments for this position will be two years in length with no cap on being reappointed.
Please either fill out an application online: https:// www.sdlportal.com/towns/nc/randolph/liberty/forms/ 97c99e19-7be1-4e97-9b22-fb3914017de7?wf=1 , or ask a staff member for a printed copy to submit.

Randolph Communications Recognizes Liberty as a Smart Rural Community
Liberty, NC (August 19, 2025) – Randolph Communications recently presented the Liberty exchange with a Smart Rural Community (SRC) sign provided by NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association to display in their town. SRC is a national network of communities powered by innovative rural broadband providers that are advancing towards a future-proof sustainable infrastructure. The program promotes rural broadband and provides fast, reliable and sustainable connectivity.
In order to receive recognition as an SRC provider, Randolph Communications was required to affirm that it offers 100 Mbps broadband to at least 50% of its service area; that it has broadband subscription rates of at least 50%; and that it is committed to program principles of collaboration and innovation. As a result of Randolph Communications’ national recognition, Liberty will now be celebrated as a Smart Rural Community in program materials and online at www.smartruralcommunity.com, joining a national network of similarly innovative communities. However, Randolph Communications surpasses that internet speed offering by providing speeds up to 1GIG/1GIG to residents and businesses.
“Thanks to Randolph Communications, Liberty now has the power of Gigabit internet speeds right at our fingertips. This investment is about more than technology—it’s about giving our citizens the tools to learn, work, access healthcare, and stay connected in today’s world. Strong broadband access is helping us build a stronger future and ensuring Liberty remains a place where families can thrive,” stated Filmore York, Mayor for the Town of Liberty.
NTCA Chief Executive Officer Shirley Bloomfield also recognized Randolph Communications for this achievement, noting, “We are so excited to welcome another Smart Rural Community provider into this growing network of innovative broadband providers delivering the Internet’s fastest speeds in some of the most remote and rural communities of our country.

Sad day
Wednesday, August 10, 1977....the end of our beloved high school building....lost a good auditorium that hosted so many senior plays, grades doing music shows, Bob Loman's famous gospel sings. Feel free to share a comment on where you were that day or the feelings you may have about the demolition. 46 years ago "new building will replace old one...but never the memories"
