The DeWitt County Board Thursday night approved the sale of 75 acres of Clinton Lake marina property.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday morning, Board Chair Terry Ferguson told Regional Radio the property sold at about the amount he thought it would and says it is going to be a big boost for the Clinton Lake Marina.

Breakwater replacement, parking lot improvements, and dock repairs are all among a list of items that need attention at the Marina. Ferguson says it won't get everything done but the money from the sale of the marina property will go a long way.

Ferguson reminds the sale of the property was cleared with Constellation and they offered some stipulations on the deed of the property. Ferguson is not sure what the intent of the new owner will be but knows there were some bidders that had some creative things they wanted to do with it.

Ferguson says with boats on Clinton Lake getting bigger over the years, the infrastructure of the marina has been a big focus of the board and he feels this will help in improving those issues.
