Residents are courteous and caring. Wherever you go, whether it is to a local business or just across the street, you can expect a warm welcome and friendly conversation. From the workplace to social events, everyone participates with enthusiasm. Family and moral values serve as a shared foundation for the quality of life and are an everyday part of living.

The city’s low-crime rate, no-hassle traffic, strong work ethic and skilled workforce, history, education, recreation, entertainment, tourist sites, and location enhance the spirit of

dedication, pride and love for this city. Nearly 12,000 people have selected Taylorville as their home. But, whenever anyone is ready to face the hustle-bustle of larger cities, a multitude of recreational and entertainment opportunities are only minutes away in neighboring Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, Peoria, and St. Louis.

On the move toward expansion of current businesses and attracting new businesses, the Taylorville/Christian County Economic Development Corporation provides assistance to commercial, industrial, and/or manufacturing businesses considering a start-up, relocation or expansion project. Development assistance programs include local and state incentives.
