The Department of Natural Resources is interested in purchasing the Clinton Lake Marina.

DeWitt County Board Chair Dan Matthews Thursday night at the DeWitt County Board meeting made the announcement and Friday morning on the WHOW Morning Show told Regional Radio DNR is exploring making a proposal to DeWitt County.

For Matthews, keeping a government entity involved in the processes of operation at the Marina would be better than a private owner because of the uncertainty of a private owner's intentions.

Earlier this year, Matthews announced the intention of the County Board to explore the possibility of selling the Marina.

DNR Conservation Police Captain John Williamson will join the WHOW Morning Show Monday.
