City of Taylorville receiving a large grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, while the city works on another grant.

Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says the city received a DCEO grant worth over $3 million for improvements to the square.

Mayor Barry says the city is applying for another grant, too. 

The DCEO grant will assist the city’s rebuilding of city streets and sidewalks. 

The ITEP grant could assist in the repaving of city streets in the vicinity of the Taylorville Square. West Main Cross is in the Mayor’s cross-hairs. 

That is, if the city obtains it. 

Mayor Barry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
