There could be some redevelopment for the downtown area of Liberal in the coming future, and citizens from the community had the chance to share their thoughts at the Liberal City Commission’s most recent meeting Tuesday evening.
Up first was local citizen John Smith.
“I do own a business downtown, and I think this has been a long time coming in terms of improvement,” Smith said. “This is a very good opportunity, and I’m very much in favor of things being improved and updated. You can never do anything that won’t inconvenience someone at some point, and a good example of that is the 2nd Street drainage that went on as long as it did, but it was something that had to be addressed. I think the downtown area is similar, and I’m very much in favor of pursuing as much of what was presented as possible, but I know it will take some time and coordination.”
