Only 10 years ago, the biggest franchise in town was McDonald's, not so nowadays. A Super Wal-Mart now graces the town with its presence. Major industries such as Novo Nordisk and Caterpillar give Clayton residents ample work and shopping opportunities.

In 2007, the U.S. 70 Bypass around Clayton will be complete, alleviating any traffic congestion. What's more, because land prices are less expensive here, housing is more affordable. This is just another example of why life is sweet in Clayton for those of you looking for a quiet retreat from big-city life.
