The Liberty County Development Authority plans a $32.5 million wastewater treatment plant to support growth in eastern Liberty County. Designed to handle 3 million gallons per day, the plant will serve Tradeport East and the Laurel View development, which is approved for 5,420 residential units.

Various financing options are being explored, including loans and bonds. Construction is expected to take three years, but no permits have been issued yet. Community concerns about environmental impacts and potential increases in water bills have been noted, with the authority promising public engagement on the project.
