The foundation is being laid for the future of Taylorville and Christian County, and Patty Hornbuckle with the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce says that foundation should lead the area to a prosperous future.

Hornbuckle says the completion of Route 29 4-lane project will have a big impact on the area going forward.

Hornbuckle says there are multiple companies looking at Taylorville and Christian County to set up shop.

When it comes to Chamber events, Hornbuckle says they were very successful this year. Chamber events were capped off by a record-breaking Chillifest in October.

Hornbuckle says the Chamber’s Board of Directors are always active and coming up with new ideas for how to best serve the community for its future.
