Downtown Morris is
Our Neighborhood
Join us in shaping Liberty Street’s future
A message from the Mayor
Our downtown is the heart of Morris — it’s where our history, our small businesses, and our community come together. A strong downtown means a strong Morris.

About the Project
Bring Liberty Street to life — a streetscape transformation shaped by Morris residents, businesses, and visitors.
Your voice during the 2026–2027 engagement and design phase will determine the quality, character, and success of a revitalized streetscape with construction starting in 2028. Together, we will create a safer, greener, and more vibrant downtown — a place Morris can be proud of for generations.
