New Richmond, Ohio — Construction work has officially started on the Liberty Landing project, a development initiative valued at $13.5 million. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project took place in August, marking the beginning of a significant enhancement to the waterfront area of the village.
Key Features of the Liberty Landing Development
The project is designed to provide several new amenities and improvements aimed at boosting community activity and local tourism. Central to the development are a new marina and an event center, both intended to serve as focal points for residents and visitors alike. These facilities are expected to enhance the village’s appeal as a destination for boating, gatherings, and cultural events.
In addition to these attractions, the project encompasses streetscape improvements along the streets adjacent to the river. These enhancements aim to improve pedestrian safety and aesthetic appeal, creating a more inviting environment for residents and visitors walking through the area.
Construction Changes and Traffic Management
As part of the ongoing construction, Front Street will be closed to traffic from Walnut Street to Union Street. This closure is intended to facilitate construction activities and ensure safety during development. Despite the closure, the sidewalk on the business side of Front Street will remain open to pedestrians, allowing continued access for foot traffic.
