The DeWitt County Development Council is currently in the process of rebuilding itself and their leader addressed the Clinton Rotary Club Tuesday afternoon.
Curt Homann, President of DCDC, explains the DCDC had to essentially start over because they lost funding from a trio of DeWitt County governing bodies that were supporting them. Since that time, they received a matching grant from State Farm Bank.
Homann explains DCDC has shifted its priorities. Initially the goal was business development but since, they still have the USDA revolving loan to help businesses.
The State Farm Bank grant was matching up to $25-thousand and could not come from government entities. Homann explains they are focused on making the second year of that grant happen.
The DCDC will support the developing CEO Program at Clinton High School.
