Mills Avenue is currently closed at W. Beattie Street due to downed trees and power outages.
Please avoid the area and use an alternate route while crews work to clear the roadway and restore power.
We appreciate everyone’s patience while this is being addressed.
Beginning today, March 11th, 2026, around noon, crews will begin blasting work at the Tractor Supply construction site. This work is expected to continue periodically through the end of next week.
Residents and businesses in the nearby area may hear loud noises during blasting times. For reference, the maximum sound that could be experienced in the vicinity may be similar to a 9mm gunshot.
While this may be noticeable, the blasting will be conducted underground, so there will be no visible explosions.
Police Chief Tetter will be on site around the start time today to ensure everything is operating safely and as expected.
In addition, seismic monitors have been installed in areas extremely close to the site to measure and monitor vibrations.
Citizens in the immediate vicinity may experience brief sound disruptions during blasting periods. If you are in the area and hear a loud noise during the day, please know it is related to this planned construction activity.
We appreciate everyone’s patience as this work takes place.

Duke Energy has announced the selected route for the Liberty Norris 100-kV Line Relocation Project, which is part of their efforts to improve reliability and meet the community’s current and future energy needs.
As part of this project, Duke Energy representatives may be in the area conducting surveys along the selected route corridor. In some cases, the route could cross private property as they work to determine the final, precise location of the transmission line.
If you see Duke Energy crews or representatives in the community in the coming weeks, they may be conducting these surveys as part of the project planning process.

A big THANK YOU to King Asphalt for sponsoring this project and to local artist and Liberty business owner Duncan Burns, Jr. for designing it. This sign wouldn’t be possible without both of you. Your support and talent came together to create something our community can truly be proud of.
