The Small Town Taylorville Committee late Monday night announced it’s converting to a private, non-profit organization, to continue their efforts in attracting shoppers and residents to Taylorville.   Chair Steve Craggs told Regional Radio News about the decision.

Craggs said the group decided to transform into a private, non-profit organization, not relying on City of Taylorville funding in the future.

Craggs added Liz Conway will continue to do her work in creating campaigns, graphics and social media posts, for the Committee, and that several special events have been planned.

Craggs added memberships are being offered to local business ranging from a basic membership for 5-dollars a month, to a Founding Membership for 80-dollars a month.  More details on available membership levels are on-line at smalltowntaylorville.com.
