The City of Taylorville has decided to purchase the Taylorville Industrial Park, opening new doors to developers interested in Christian County. This comes after recently expanding the Enterprise Zone, benefiting businesses that already call the county ‘home.’ The Christian County Economic Development Corporation has been spearheading multiple efforts to improve the local economy.

Matt Hart, Executive Director of the Christian County Economic Development Corporation, starts out by talking tariffs and their impact on area establishments.

Hart knows that tariffs create trouble in the short term, but still hopes they will cause potential future gains.

Recently announced by the Governor, a $1.2 million State grant is headed to Downtown Pana. Hart explains what the money will be used for.

Now that the City of Taylorville plans to purchase the Industrial Park, Hart believes all parties involved will benefit from it.
