Bryce Starkey, Financial Advisor for Edward Jones Financial, moved into a renovated location at the former Magill Hotel off Center Street on the north side of the square. He is excited about the move and being on the square.
 
 
The retail space was cut in half on the lower level of the historic building. Executive Director of the Clinton Chamber, Marian Brisard, says it is exciting the Magill building finally has a tenant and feels it should be a catalyst for further development in the other half of the storefront. 
 
 
City Administrator for the City of Clinton, Tim Followell echoes Brisard's sentiments about tenants following with Edward Jones now in the building. He says the move is another example of economic development taking time and not being an overnight process.
 
 
The DeWitt County Restoration Association will be leasing the property and Becky Adams with the DCRA says this is something they've been working on for a long time and they are excited for a tenant to finally be in the building.
 
 
Adams says the DCRA will continue to search for a tenant for the other side of the retail space and adds they will continue to raise funds to continue their renovation efforts inside the building.
