The ongoing saga of selling property at the Clinton Lake Marina continued a few weeks ago at the latest DeWitt County Board meeting.

Board Chair Terry Ferguson says selling roughly 75 acres of property that isn't developed could help the County make improvements at the Marina. He says Exelon had some conditions they wanted to be put in the sale of the property and so those were approved.

According to Ferguson, development of the property is unlikely as early interest seems to be around it being used for recreational purposes, mainly hunting. He also points out the value of recreational property at this time is rather significant.

The Marina has been a focal point in 2021 for the County Board with docks needing improvement and breakwaters still needing to be replaced. Ferguson says like a few other things happening at the county government level, there are people that feel passionately about this and want things done right.
