A DeWitt County leader is making the jump from one side of the county to the other.

Former Clinton City Administrator Taylor Baxter takes over as the City Manager for the City of Farmer City this week. He is forever grateful for the opportunity provided to him by the City of Clinton.

As Baxter departs, several projects and goals are left unfinished. Baxter indicates the Council has sought to bring back the summer concerts that had become a huge hit pre-COVID and it appears there is a dedication to having those return.

Another project still ongoing is the Park Lane West subdivision development. Baxter indicates there's a lot of interest in the development in that part of the community and believes it will be a very good thing for Clinton.

Baxter feels in his first time as an administrator, he learned a lot. He appreciates the experiences he's had in Clinton and the opportunity to learn a lot of lessons in this community.
