LIBERTY, NY (September 25, 2014) – Senator John Bonacic (R/C/I – Mt. Hope) has announced that the Town of Liberty has been awarded $50,000 in funding from the State & Municipal Facilities Capital Program.
The project details call for continued improvements to the front porch of Town Hall including the architectural pillars, guard rail and new roof of the front porch in order to preserve the building’s historic value.
“We have asked for funds for this beautiful old building which has served the town well since the 1970’s,” said Supervisor Charles Barbuti. “Restoring the front porch would help preserve our bit of history, and allow the building to be used for years to come. We are thankful to Senator Bonacic for the monies to continue this important maintenance project.”
“I am pleased to be able to secure these funds for the Town of Liberty,” said Senator Bonacic. “This project will enable the town workers to keep the building safe for residents and visitors, and allow the building to continue functioning without coming to the taxpayers for help.”
But, I ‘d like to see rather than money, action to make the Main street and businesses there and the ones that aren’t ….helped…. where is that money? beautification is one thing,b ut it does nothing for a nearly dead downtown business district
