Welcome to Red Bud
Where Small Town Traditions Meet Progress and Opportunity
Located in the northwest section of Randolph County, Illinois, the city of Red Bud is just a short commute from metropolitan St. Louis and roughly six miles from the Kaskaskia River, a tributary of the Mississippi River and a main thoroughfare for both industry and recreation.
Three state highways - Illinois routes 3, 154 and 159 - converge at the city’s four way stop. Two airports - MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Ill., and St. Louis Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Mo., - are less than an hour from the city center. Thanks to Red Bud’s easy access to transportation by land, water and air, the thriving city is a top tier location for manufacturers and industry.
For residents, Red Bud is a welcoming community steeped in small town values and traditions. Visit one of Blossom City’s shops or restaurants to discover the friendly charm of our town!

Progress & Industry
Red Bud is entering a transformative phase with the launch of the Red Bud Business Park — a major economic development initiative aimed at attracting new businesses and revitalizing the local job market.
Infrastructure development officially broke ground on April 22, 2025, and is currently underway to prepare shovel-ready lots for sale. Once completed, the Business Park will feature 17 fully serviced lots ranging from one to four acres, equipped with city-provided utilities including electric, water, sewer, and natural gas, along with access to high-speed fiber internet.
This strategic investment reflects the City’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment and long-term economic vitality.
In addition to the business park, the city of Red Bud also has several competitive Economic Development Incentive Programs for qualified applicants. Programs include:
Loan Programs
Sales Tax Rebate Incentive Programs
Enterprise Zone
Property Tax Abatement Program
