Pete Iosue (eye-oh-see) with Teska (tusk-uh) Associates is developing the plan and indicates it is going to be very thorough. Everything from parks to economic development and financials, the plan will be a roadmap for the future.

 

 

Iousue indicates everything is in the early stages of getting the plan together. He hopes later this year they have more details for the community but before that, they plan to engage the community about what they would like to see.

 

 

As Teska Associates does their own research, Iosue says they are finding some interesting demographics of the County. What stands out to Iousue is that the County has a very low tax rate and the median age is a little higher than surrounding areas.

 

 

Iousue indicates they look at factors for people to quote- "age in place" but also attract young families to the community. 

 

There is also a survey to be taken. You can take that survey and get more information at www.dewittcountyplan.com.
