It has been a little over a year since the 4-lane Route 29 expansion opened, and the village of Edinburg is already seeing the benefits of the new highway around the community.
Edinburg’s Village President David Luttrell says new businesses are setting up shop in the community.
Luttrell says the highway has made Edinburg an easy drive away from Springfield.
Luttrell says the city is also seeing an increase in tax revenue thanks to the new Route 29.
