Living in Liberty

The City of Liberty is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion for its community. 

Our philosophy strives to ensure that all City citizens, businesses and visitors are afforded equitable opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, citizenship, national origin, age, medical conditions or disability, Veteran’s status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected under law, in any term or condition.

 The City of Liberty community is valuable and important. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our citizens, businesses and visitors bring to the community, represents a significant part of not only our collective culture, but our City’s reputation as well.
