City of Taylorville officials optimistic about the direction the town is heading. 

Mayor Bruce Barry says that the East Main Cross project in Taylorville is ready to start in March. 

There are two other grants the city is looking at. The federal government has already approved one for the city’s industrial area. 

The other grant concerns the downtown area. The grant is part of the Downtown Revitalization initiative from the department of commerce and economic opportunity. 

Barry wants citizens to reach out to him if they feel there is a problem within the city. 

Mayor Barry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
