At last month's DeWitt County Board meeting, Chair Dan Matthews encouraged the Board to consider how to use the funds from the sale of the Clinton Lake Marina.

Matthews offered some ideas for how the funds could be used.

State's Attorney Dan Markwell told Matthews and the Board they needed to decide how to budget for the dollars. He says the Board has a couple of options on how to budget those dollars.

While Matthews did not have anything specific in mind, Board member Joe Witte suggested putting that money aside for a couple of years to make sure everything at the Marina remains on the up and up.

Matthews told Regional Radio there are a lot of directions the County could direct those dollars to re-invest in its communities.

The Board did not take a vote on any specific uses for the funds last month.
