2 major announcements came out of Friday night's Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet.

The first was that an Effingham-based group of doctors are the ones constructing the new Prompt Care facility at Illinois Routes 29 and 104.  Grunloh Construction of Effingham is the general contractor for the project, and it's expected to be open in August of this year.

The 2nd was that Jimmy John's is coming to Taylorville.  No opening date is known yet, but it will be co-located inside the Family Video building on West Spresser.

Both business openings were announced Friday night by Chamber C-E-O Patty Hornbuckle.
