Local newspaper reports on state of Liberty five years after death of founder

The News & Advance in Lynchburg, Va., recently published an article titled, “Five years after death of Jerry Falwell Sr., growth booming at Liberty.”

It details construction projects already under way as part of a major campus transformation that will change Liberty’s landscape in the next five years.
