2018 was the last time DeWitt County created a plan for the future and a DeWitt County Board member believes it is past time to get a new plan in place. 

At Monday night's DeWitt County Land Use Committee meeting, Patrick Ryan inquired about the process of getting a new comprehensive plan rolling. Dee Dee Rentmeister explains the effort includes bringing together a Steering Committee and having a 3rd party group called Teska survey DeWitt County residents. 

Creating a new Comprehensive Plan is not cheap and Board Chair Joe Witte felt using funds from the sale of the Clinton Lake Marina - which were intended for economic development - would be a good use of those dollars. 

The committee decided they'd like to reach out to Teska to see if they would once again be interested in assisting with the comprehensive plan. They hope to soon create a new Steering Committee. 

Due to the structure of the agenda for the meeting, the committee could not take any action or make an official recommendation to the board.
