Business Assistance
Murphysboro has engaged in strategic planning to return our historic downtown to its original vibrancy. One of the biggest challenges we face is knowing who has the answers to the multitude of questions that go into starting a business, or renovating a space to fit your needs. We’ve created an online resource that includes contacts for local experts and service providers, as well as financial incentives to help open a business or restore a building.
