Following another successful year of 4th of July festivities, attention turns to developing the Industrial Park and multiple street projects. The City of Taylorville has officially closed on the Commercial and Industrial Park purchase; a move Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry is excited about. Streets like West Main, Franklin, and more, have or will see road and sidewalk projects popping up throughout town.

Barry starts by sharing the busy day of events on the 4th. From the parade and mayor’s picnic to the fireworks, Barry was happy that the day was eventful but also safe.

Barry explains why the purchase of the Taylorville Industrial Park was made and gives some history as to how it even came to be.

As for what the city will do next? Barry discusses what he would like to see come to the available space first.

The busy month of events just got started. The 101st Annual Christian County Fair is just a week or so out, and Barry says he’ll likely be out there every single day.
