Construction projects in Taylorville continue to make headway.  The city is tracking multiple such efforts, from West Main Cross to the Taylorville square and other side streets surrounding them.  This is not new for Taylorville, with the Taylorville Food Center project having recently been completed.  The goal has been to improve the aesthetics of the city.

West Main Cross is where the current stage of work is happening.  Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says multiple sources of funding are helping with projects like this one.

Mayor Barry adds that the process of securing the funding has taken years to arrange. 

The city will also begin work on the airport runways.  Funding for that work comes from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Meanwhile, work on the Taylorville square is set for the fall.  Mayor Barry says it will be staggered so the entire square is not blocked off at once.
