Cultural Opportunities
The 700 seat theatre in the Community Center is the site for many plays, concerts
and special events. The theatre is the site for the Liberty Symphony Orchestra
as well. Cultural venues multiply due to William
Jewell College's offerings include
the Harriman Arts Program, the Stocksdale Gallery of Art and special events on
the campus. |
Retail Choices
As you can see in the graph below, retail sales are growing.
This graph represents Liberty only. The numbers would jump significantly
when the development on the west side of I-35 at 152 Highway is considered.
Types of retail centers include the historic downtown area, strip
centers and the large shopping centers at I-35 & 152 and soon
to follow, I-35 & South Liberty Parkway.
According to a recent study done by the R.H. Johnson Company, a
leader in commercial real estate, Liberty has over 1 million square
feet of retail space, of which less than 1% is vacant. Now that's
a hot spot for retail!
