The rejuvenation of downtown rural America is a challenge communities of every size are trying to solve and Clinton officials believe they are on their way to perhaps resolving.
City Administrator Tim Followell indicates this past year was a great year for downtown Clinton, as they welcomed up and coming country performers Lauren Alaina and Tara Thompson, to the downtown square.
It has been a few years, but a former TIF district in Clinton allowed several businesses to spruce up their storefronts with matching funds from the City of Clinton. Followell says that has been a huge boost to the look of the square.
Followell anticipates a few more development things happening in and around downtown Clinton in 2017 and says they plan to bring back the free concerts on the square as well.
