It's a sentiment that is not uncommon to hear for those passionate about the Marina at Clinton Lake - DeWitt County should not be in the marina business.

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Board Chair Dan Matthews told Regional Radio it's a conversation that was had last Thursday night at the County Board meeting. 

Matthews believes the County being in the Marina business on a day-to-day basis is not what is best for the County or the operator. 

The current lease with Joe Caldwell and his group expires at the end of the calendar year. Matthews hopes to see the process to begin seeking a long-term manager begin as soon as this summer with something in place at the end of the current lease.
