Downtown Villieu was once a flourishing business district, but most Villieu-area businesses are now located only in the suburbs  The office buildings downtown lack the modern amenities most business operators demand today
To lure more businesses downtown, Villieu officials plan to have several modern office buildings constructed and to offer reduced local tax rates to any business that leases space in a new downtown building
With the new office buildings, downtown Villieu would have a greater amount of modern office space than any other downtown business district in the region.
