A strong, “clean” manufacturing base coupled with a healthy retail community. Close interstate access. Main line rail service. A strong work force with a good work ethic. Plenty of water and power. Arthur attracts quality employees from miles around. Arthur and its immediate surrounding countryside support a thriving retail trade that draws regular customers from 100 miles around. Look us over. Arthur has the space, infrastructure, utilities and plans and is ready to welcome your business or industry. 

A financially and educationally strong local school district. One that consistently scores above average while offering low pupil to teacher rations and most major sports opportunities.

Parks, ball diamonds, tennis courts, fairgrounds, and a new community pool provide plenty of recreation opportunities within walking distance. Nearby, the Kaskaskia River circles Arthur and feeds the beaches, boating and fishing opportunities of beautiful Lake Shelbyville less than 20 minutes away.

All of the comforts of small town living, off the main track but still only minutes away from major universities, theater, extended dining, and big box shopping if you must.  Learn more about us and then plan to call or visit.
