It's gone down to the wire again, but a local entity aimed at community economic development has reached their fundraising goal for the second straight year.
President of the DeWitt County Development Council, or DCDC, David Torbert says their $25-thousand goal through the State Farm Bank matching grant challenge has been met again in 2017.
The grant allows the DCDC to help achieve their goal of being a local resource for DeWitt County Businesses. Torbert indicates they now have plenty of funds available for the revolving loan fund.
The last year has been spent getting the DCDC's legs back under themselves and re-establishing their board. Torbert says there are lots of good things to come in 2018 as they move ahead with local efforts.
