NORTH LIBERTY– Prompted by demand, North Liberty officials have been taking a closer look at the city’s growth; not just its population numbers, but its physical layout and the type of development occurring within and around the city.
The demand, said City Planner Dean Wheatley, is coming from developers asking to build additional multi-family housing neighborhoods. The problem is that land zoned for that type of housing is dwindling.

In the past, students with less-than-satisfactory grades endured an arduous program known as summer school; long days suffering in the classroom while their more successful classmates enjoyed the summer.
