Greetings, on behalf of Village President Trevor J. Clatfelter, the Village Board of Trustees and the entire Village of Sherman I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to briefly share with you some of the "Economic Development Opportunities" available in our community.

  • Our business districts are located close to the interstate and have high traffic volumes.

We are located:

  • 7 miles north of the national crossroad of I72 and I55.
  • 55 miles south of the national crossroad of I74/I55.
