Taylorville has made a name for itself as a visiting destination for travelers, with the town's flourishing new businesses and restaurants. Steve Craggs is the Co-Chair for Small Town Taylorville and the President of Downtown Taylorville, Craggs attributes the growth of the community to their efforts in marketing. The Small Town Taylorville group is doing everything they can to promote and acknowledge businesses that make Taylorville worth visiting, which is most of them.

The members of Small Town Taylorville are who the local citizens can thank for events like the 4th of July Parade and the Veterans Memorial ceremony. Craggs called it a fantastic day for Taylorville.

The Car Show and the visit from the Rural Partners are the product of Small Town Taylorville’s hard work. There are more events coming up that Craggs and Small Town Taylorville will not want the community to miss. Saturday, July 15th and Sunday, July 16th, Taylorville Shops and restaurants will be offering deals that hope to bring in new customers.

A new way to reach citizens both within and beyond the borders of Taylorville is the video tours that take the viewer through many Taylorville establishments. These informational videos will give newcomers a real look at the inside of Taylorville's stores to know what to expect. Craggs looks to use this unique experience for the newly developing industrial park that is making its way to Taylorville.
