Chattanooga’s Newly Renovated Liberty Tower Dedicated with Rare Gift of Statue of Liberty Replica from Builder and …

Posted on by

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The newest addition to Chattanoogas growing skyline, Liberty Tower, was unveiled Thursday, May 16 with a dedication celebration that included city, state and international VIPs and the unveiling of a rare 11-foot Statue of Liberty replica.

The statue is owned by the Berry Family and has been loaned to Liberty Tower for display in the lobby by Jim Berry, president and managing partner of Liberty Tower LLC. Chattanoogas Statue of Liberty replica will become a landmark and lasting memorial. Cast from the original 1878 mold, by decree of the French government, only 12 such statues can be made and this Lady Liberty is the third of four that currently exist.

We are honored to have the opportunity to share a unique replica of this incredible national monument with our community, said Berry. This Statue is an ideal cornerstone for our new building and a dramatic example to businesses nationally and globally that Chattanooga is the community for your business to call home.

Chattanoogas own Lady Liberty will also welcome visitors to the newly renovated and energy efficient Liberty Tower. Located at 605 Chestnut Street, Liberty Tower features 192,000-plus square feet of Class A office space. The structure has also been completely remodeled as a green office building and is pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

In addition to being energy efficient, Liberty Tower will also make a statement in the nighttime sky with its innovative light emitting diode (LED) system that is energy efficient and customizable. The LED green lighting can display a rainbow of colors and even animated sequences to be used on special occasions.

Another key renovation for downtown is an elevated and enclosed pedway spanning Sixth Street that connects Liberty Tower with Liberty Garage.

Key tenants include Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel, law firm and the accounting firm of Lattimore Black Morgan & Cain occupying more than 5 floors of the 192,000+-square-foot building.

All tenants of Liberty Tower receive complimentary memberships to The Walden Club for private dining functions. In the future Liberty Park will be developed just across Chestnut Street allowing building occupants to enjoy green space within the urban environment.

Our goal is to have Liberty Tower set the standard for renovated, energy efficient office space in Chattanooga, said Berry. With our own Statue of Liberty as a landmark and the amenities and features that matter to business, we believe this building can show the world what a great place to do business Chattanooga is today.

HOUSTONA Liberty County woman who fought tooth and nail to fend off an attempted rapist is speaking out about her ordeal. Leslie Garrett is one victim who will not hide.

Garrett, who is a letter carrier for the Liberty County Post Office, was preparing packages Friday night for a USPS food drive she helps to organize every year. She left a door to her house unlocked after letting her dog outside to use the bathroom then fell asleep. That mistake almost cost the woman her life.

Garrett woke up around 10:20 p.m. to find a partially-clothed man standing at the foot of her bed.

Police said Kyle Antoine, 27, had walked into her house and dropped his pants to his ankles.

I just started yelling at him Get out of my house. Get out. Get out. Garrett told The Vindicator.

The two immediately began to fight.

WNBA: Liberty feeling optimistic about new year

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -- One week into their first training camp under Bill Laimbeer, the New York Liberty are full of excitement and optimism.

"He has a great system for us, utilizes everyone at their strengths," forward Essence Carson said Monday at the team's annual media day. "We're just trying to get this chemistry together and get it rolling."

Laimbeer's hiring in New York last October has energized a franchise that reached the WNBA Finals four times in the league's first six years, but has not been back to the championship round since losing to Los Angeles in its last appearance in 2002.

"I'm excited," said Liberty star Cappie Pondexter, who joined the team Sunday after helping Fenerbahce win the Turkish League title. "(Laimbeer) is a player's coach, definitely. ... I'm excited I get to learn a lot from him."

After struggling to a .500 record the last two years under former coach John Whisenant, expectations are sky-high for the team under Laimbeer, who led the Detroit Shock to three championships in a six-year stretch before stepping down early in the 2009 season to pursue opportunities in the NBA.

"Bill is a perfect fit for New York," Pondexter said. "He's got that New York swagger, that New York attitude and he brought players in that fit that and we're going to have a great year. ... He's a defensive guy, but he's smart, too, with his offensive tricks and things like that."

Forgotten is the rivalry Detroit and New York had over the years while meeting in the postseason three times. The Liberty won a first-round series in 2004, knocking out the then-defending champs on a buzzer-beater in the decisive Game 3, but then came up short in hard-fought three-game series in the first round in 2007 and the conference semifinals in 2008 during the Shock's run to their last title.

Carson, the longest-tenured player on the roster entering her sixth season, was a rookie during that last playoff meeting.

Liberty Hospital laying off 129 employees, blames Obamacare

Posted on by

LIBERTY, MO (KCTV) -

More than 100 workers at Liberty Hospital are getting their pink slips.

The hospital said in a statement Tuesday that 129 employee positions are being eliminated this week as part of an effort to reduce expenses by $20 million. The layoffs are in a variety of departments including maintenance and nutritional services. Senior managers are also losing their jobs.

Devastated employees, including nurses, left the hospital in tears after collecting their belongings.

Amy Stone worked at Liberty Hospital for eight years, was a charge nurse on her floor. She described herself as extremely sad.

"We all knew today was the day that they were going to do this," she explained. "I thought I was high enough in seniority."

Stone said the hospital should have done more to prepare workers so that they had time to explore other options or provided additional options.

"I'm just betrayed. I've worked faithfully for a company that just turns around and says, 'Sorry.' And they wouldn't even offer me an explanation as to why," Stone said.

Rick Boswell, president of the Liberty Hospital board said the action was taken four months ago after a consultant was brought in to analyze the hospital's finances in a Strategic Performance Improvement Initiative.

"We were looking for ways to lean up without impacting patient care," Boswell said. "Most of the positions are in middle management, jobs we could eliminate without touching patient care, which is our number one priority."
