Madison
Located in the shadow of the Gateway Arch just north of Interstate 55/70, the City of Madison, Illinois is one of Southwestern Madison County’s most precious assets. While it may seem small with just 9.2 square miles, this quaint community is home to many of the area’s largest attractions and world-renowned amenities. Coupled with small-town charm and a friendly atmosphere. Madison is one of the area’s rising communities and a great place to work, live and do business.
The fact that Madison has so much to offer today can, in part, be traced back to the creation of a Tax Increment Financing District in 1996 to help finance new developments and brighten the community. Development in Madison accelerated following the creation of the TIF district and has resulted in the city’s most prized attractions – World Wide Technology Raceway and Gateway National Golf Links golf course.
Centrally located for the 3,000,000 people and 750,000 businesses in the metropolitan region; the City’s neighborhoods, employment opportunities, regional recreation venues and national sporting events are minutes from downtown St. Louis. Our community is linked to the world market through high speed internet access, as well as by our position on the interstate highway system, Mississippi River and intercontinental rail lines. Madison is also only minutes from two international airports.
