Construction and future projects continue to progress in the surroundings of the Taylorville square.  In addition, a project related to the state’s Safe Routes to School initiative will begin soon.  Future work on the square has also been discussed, and talks are expected to continue.  Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says work on the underground infrastructure has been completed.

Regarding the Safe Routes to School project, Mayor Barry expects it to be completed before the school year starts.

The city has already received funding for other work on streets around the Taylorville square.  It’s expected to begin near the turn of the year. 

The Mayor also spoke on a future project within the square, which had been discussed at a special meeting last month.  He says the proposal to add public restrooms on the square – which was part of the initial blueprint – is now not likely to come to fruition.
