The DeWitt County Development Council recently awarded its first-ever micro-grants.

Three area businesses were selected by the DCDC and Scott Baum indicates the purpose of these microgrants is to stimulate local businesses. The funding for the microgrants was raised locally.

C&P Custom Printing, R&S Auto Body, and Triple-M Farms received grants this spring. Baum was impressed with the innovation and creativity of local small business owners.
