Big Liberty sewer line project gets under way

LIBERTY — After six years of studies and applications, Phase I of the Little Squaw Creek Interceptor Sewer Project got under way with a ceremonial groundbreaking at the intersection of Belmont Avenue and Tibbetts-Wick Road.

“You can’t have development without sewer services,” said U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Niles, D-17th at today’s event. “We need to develop the assets that we have.”

The first phase of a four-phase project, the sewer line will tie in along the seven-mile Belmont Avenue corridor from Liberty through Vienna to Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

Patrick Ungaro, Liberty Township administrator, called it the biggest development project for his township in the last decade.
