The stock market has recently taken a hit, causing some economic downturns.

Monday, on the WHOW Morning Show, Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains some of the down trends of the stock market. He says it's not all doom and gloom though, and hopes that back to school shopping will cause an uptick in the market. 

Homann notes how he works with local businesses, and advises them based on national stock market trends. This can help to prepare business owners to manage their expectations and be ready for the future. 

Homann says our chance of a recession has increased, and he wants to let people know that the midwest can be somewhat shielded, but the Development Council is looking into ways to increase revenue in DeWitt County. 

Next week on Regional Radio, Homann will explain more on those strategies, and how they will help the development of DeWitt County.
