DCDC Receives $5,000 Grant From Local Bank

A local bank is helping the DeWitt County Development Council in their quest to keep momentum going into the new year. 

 

First National Bank and Trust Company presented a gift of $5,000 to the DCDC this week. The funds will assist in a matching grant program alongside State Farm Insurance to support local businesses.

DCDC's David Torbert says this is vital to reaching their goal of raising $25-thousand as a part of the State Farm grant challenge.

 

DCDC actively engages with current and potential businesses to market DeWitt County, with a mission to attract commerce and encourage job growth. The council promotes ideas for local business expansion and workforce development, and also provides direction for new and existing businesses or commerce seeking resources to enhance business operations, including revolving loan programs.

 

FNB President Josh Shofner said in a release yesterday, the bank is always proud to partner with the DCDC to continue to help grow the local business community.

 

Yesterday on Regional Radio News, Torbert indicated the DCDC was still about $3,000 shy of their $25-thousand goal.
