Clinton Non-Profit Continues to Explore Options for Building Needs

A DeWitt County non-profit is continuing the exploration of what its facility will look like after some devastating news in 2022.

 

Encore Developmental Services have decided remaining in its current building just outside of Clinton on the community's east side will be what is best but Executive Director Stephanie Coonce points out there's still a lot to be done to address a devastating assessment by the Illinois Fire Marshal's office from late 2022.

 

 

Coonce is pleased to report, a lot of things are starting to fall into place. For instance, they have plans submitted to the Illinois Fire Marshal and a priority list of projects.

 

 

In pursuit of funding, Encore is looking into hiring someone to do grant writing. Coonce is learning a lot in the process of bringing someone on about the pursuit of grants.

 

 

Coonce and her staff are getting creative in coming up with fundraising opportunities this summer. We'll have more later this week on Regional Radio with on an event that is this weekend and simply requires a visit to the thrift store this Saturday.
