Construction continues at the Taylorville Industrial Park on the city's northwest side.  The development, spearheaded by the Taylorville Development Association, is as a result of the local group raising some 537-thousand dollars to enable them to them get a 527-thousand dollar match grant from the Economic Development Administration.

The 32 acre tract will contain over a dozen plated lots for sale.

When the project is completed, the site will have paved streets, curb and gutter, power, phone and internet.  Both retail and industrial prospects are being contacted about locating at the new park.
