Located 35 miles east of St. Louis just off of Interstate 70, Highland is home to over 10,000 residents. Also, home to a variety of industries such as Basler Electric and Korte Construction, Highland successfully blends industry with a small-town atmosphere. With highly rated schools, neighborhoods, and a younger workforce, Highland is rapidly changing from a rural community to more of a suburban one. Highland also recently chose to be on the cutting edge by creating its own fiber optic network.
