Christian County’s Enterprise Zone expires at the end of 2021, and officials with the Christian County Economic Development Corporation have been working for the last several months on renewing and expanding the zone for further job creation.

That was part of a report given this (Thursday) morning by C-C-E-D-C executive director Mary Renner to the organization’s board of directors, at the annual meeting held at the People’s Bank and Trust meeting room in Taylorville.

Renner told Regional Radio News after the meeting, that getting the zone renewed and expanded, will mean more jobs for the county.

Renner added the proposed expanded Christian County Enterprise Zone includes some new projects in the works.

Renner emphasized the importance of the Enterprise Zone to provide new jobs.

Renner has been part of Christian County’s economic development efforts, since the C-C-E-D-C was formed in 2003.
