Town at heart of Toyota-induced development gets OK to unplug development clog
Pent-up development demand in the northeastern Randolph County town of Liberty has gotten some relief: The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality has given approval for the town to add sewer lines.
The town and DEQ entered a special order of consent in January 2021 preventing Liberty from adding sewer extensions until it repaired its wastewater treatment system. The system had had several overflow events mainly from stormwater runoff leaking into it after severe storms, particularly after major hurricanes.
