In the last month, it was announced that a new bank would set up a shop in Clinton.

That's just one of the exciting things happening in DeWitt County recently. On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, DeWitt County Development Council Executive Director Curt Homann told Regional Radio the new bank coming to Clinton has been in the works for a little while now.

Homann indicates the development and extension of Somerset Drive in Clinton were born out of conversations with a couple of Clinton business owners. Homann believes that development is more good things for Clinton.

According to Homann, the Farmer City grocery coop's bid for a significant grant from the State of Illinois did not end up happening but he says they still are moving forward towards establishing itself in downtown Farmer City.
