Dirt is moving in Taylorville, and future projects will ensure it will continue to do so.  Recent work around the Taylorville Food Center will be followed by a repaving project on West Main Cross.  Other construction-related wishes are running into roadblocks, but the city hopes to resolve them in due course.  

Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry is watching over all of these developments and many more.  He says new incentives for businesses on the Taylorville Square are helping them improve the area aesthetically. 

The city had been hoping to pave over some of the brick roads to make them easier to drive over, but they require consent from the historical preservation office first. 

Away from construction, Mayor Barry had the opportunity to travel with the Christian County CEO students on their trip to Chicago.  His brothers work there and helped add to the fun and valuable experience and insights the students took in on the trip.

The Mayor also spoke on some of Taylorville’s fall sports teams.  At a city council meeting seven years ago, he invited the unbeaten junior league team to be honored.  Those players – of whom many are on the high school’s varsity team – are now seniors.
