The DeWitt County Board is finalizing the sale of the Clinton Lake Marina.

Board Chair Dan Matthews indicates he closed on the Marina on behalf of the board last month and is excited about what is ahead for that property.

Matthews calls the closing as smooth as you could hope for - noting there were a lot of things they had to do to make sure it was done correctly.

There are still a few things to be done for the sale to be considered complete but once that is done, the Board will take up eliminating the marina committee.

The disbanding of the Marina Committee will have to come under new leadership. Matthews announced earlier this year he would not be seeking re-election on the County Board.
