Construction on what willl become Taylorville's New Industrial Park on the city's northwest side is making major progress.

The Taylorville Development Association, a local group that raised some $537,000 in order to get a matching grant from the Economic Development Administration, is the developer.

Construction began earlier this year. Curb and gutter have been poured, and it's hoped that the road can be paved before the asphalt season ends.

The Park will also have a right turn lane off of Illinois Route 29.

Lots are for sale.  Contact Christian County Economic Development Corporation executive director Mary Renner at (217) 638-5032 for more information.
