Morton is bustling with activity, boasting its successes, and brimming with confidence. Its prospering business districts gleam with the improvements and beautification of redevelopment. New and expanded industries dot the city's industrial areas. Newly-built quality homes are plentiful. Symbolic of Morton's positive outlook is a newly renovated Main Street with decorative sidewalks, light fixtures, benches and plantings. Morton is considered the "Pumpkin Capital of the World." This designation comes from being the home to Nestle Food Company's pumpkin processing plant where over 85% of the world's pumpkin is canned each Fall. Morton's location is among its strongest assets. The city stands at the intersection of two major interstates (1-155 and 1-74), surrounded by rich and bountiful agricultural land. While Morton is near enough to the numerous amenities of both Peoria and Bloomington, IL to be advantaged by it, the community retains its strong local identity. Morton enjoys a convenience factor that encourages business, industry and residents to locate here. 26% of our country's population lives within a 500 mile radius of Morton. Sound municipal management over the years allows Morton to be virtually debt-free while still maintaining an environment services match needs. |
