May Meeting Updates From Small Town Main Street Grant Program
Committee Updates:
Promotions: Kevin Bowman reported that Edi Masten and Sandra Woolsey two new downtown business owners have a passion for doing promotions and have created a tag-
line “Life to Downtown Liberty” that the committee has embraced and are using it to promote downtown. Kevin is working with the local Rotary Club to apply for a $15,000
grant opportunity that would go toward the proposed Downtown corner lot park site.
Design Chair Phillip Wright shared that he had some conceptual renderings of the Downtown corner lot as a park and invited the committee to take a look at them following
the Marketplace report.
Economic Restructuring – Town Manager Roger Davis reported that he does have the Façade Incentive and the
Capital Improvement Grant programs included in the 2010-2011 fiscal year budget in the amount of $10,000. These
will be matching 50/50 grants of up to $1000 per match.
NEW BUSINESS:
The STMS staff presented the Marketplace Report. The presentation took about an hour and a half. The full report is
located on the Town of Liberty’s website. The Marketplace Report included: Observations about the Marketplace
Environment, Consumer Observations, Retail Observations, Retail Leakage and Retail Space Availability, Success-
ful Business Mix information, Office & Residential Observations and Recommendations for all of these items. Also,
Downtown’s Physical Environment, Financial Environment and the STMS Organization were addressed followed
by specific recommendations and action steps. Again, this study can be found by going to www.liberty-nc.com.

Mud, Volleyball, Kids Equal Fun
Freedom Family Church had heads turning last month with a
game of mud pit volleyball in Liberty. An outreach designed
to just reach the teenagers of the area turned out to be an
outreach for all ages. From a one year girl to seniors, the
mud was full of fun and fellowship. When I first heard of
mud pit volleyball, I just scratched my head, but learned this
actual is national game and there is competition level for this
game. Numerous churches provide this for outreach. A spe- Katie (1 Year) shows how it is to be done right.... Step

how did this all come about. Youth Minister, Ben Suggs, of
Freedom Family has participated in a event like this before.
Well with the help of members, they dug pits filled it with wa-

and then the little kids said why can’t we. Well the parents said
sure. Then the teenagers started encouraging the adults to jump
in. An event for kids turned out to be a time for the young and

Wow, from a girl that is always worried about her hair and make to a
