Generate. Innovate.
Renovate. Cultivate.
In 2019, CTI, a regional company based in Taylorville, Illinois, brought fiber Internet to Hillsboro which allowed it to reimagine it's future. Hillsboro's downtown is turning into an e-commerce corridor with companies like Atlas 46, Hardcore Hammers, Black Rabbit Coffee, Alexandrea purses and Woofers and Whiskers making their home in Hillsboro. Thanks to the installation of our fiber internet, we are focused on our small business community and helping them generate jobs, innovate new ideas, renovate old buildings and cultivate healthy employees. In the past twelve years, Hillsboro has exploded with entrepreneurial growth resulting in a number of thriving small business start ups. The city introduced a number of measures aimed at encouraging people to start their own small businesses, encourage e-commerce and renovate old buildings. Starting next Spring, a new idea will come to the area, The Coop, an incubator where new things and ideas will be hatched into the world.

Schools/Education
The world is changing faster than any of us can comprehend. Will our kids be ready for it? Hillsboro area schools are developing to meet the complicated needs of our future. From the free pre-school system to fully inclusive classroom which allow children with special needs to learn alongside their peers. Whatever the needs of the students, our schools are helping parents train good citizens, no matter what career they want to pursue, whether it's in the neglected trade careers or taking the traditional college route, our schools are evolving to our chaotic world while focusing on producing good people who love their community and are full of Hilltopper Pride.
