Farmer City leadership is celebrating a very positive year in 2025 and feels it is laying the foundation for a good year in 2026.

City Administrator Taylor Baxter indicates 2025 was also his first year and admits that while several things were already in motion upon his hiring in December 2023, he felt the momentum continued into last year.

Looking to 2026, Farmer City will see several projects that began in 2025 come to a conclusion. Additionally, Baxter anticipates the City taking up a lot of branding and marketing of itself in the year ahead.

Baxter anticipates the ongoing development of the grocery coop in Farmer City to open in 2026 and looks forward to all the economic development news that could take place in the year ahead as well.
