BUSINESSES

The Town of Lizton, like many small communities in the area, has been experiencing a steady yet modest flow of retail and service businesses in the past decade. In the past, the town had offered limited retail amenities such as a convenience store, liquor store, hair salon,  and a seasonal ice cream shop among others. 

The commercial/highway business section of Lizton runs primarily along SR 39 from Main St. to I-74 on the eastside and from Main St. to Brumfield on the Westside of SR 39. Then west along US 136 from SR 39 to the town limits. With Lizton’s location on primary highways, it makes it an excellent location for future business growth!
