A major hurdle has been cleared in an effort to bring a new manufacturer to Clinton. 

Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains the DeWitt County taxing bodies are 99% of the way to closing the deal that will bring KwikWall manufacturing to Clinton. Part of the draw for KwikWall to come to the county is a five-year tax abetment they will receive. 

Before KwikWall and the DCDC could agree on the tax abetment, DeWitt County, the City of Clinton, and the Clinton School District had to be on board. Homann indicates all three parties were very supportive and understood the benefits that will come to the community. 

Not only will the introduction of KwikWall bring jobs to the community, Homann notes it will bring economic and social benefits. He points out these employees could bring families, which in turn will spend money at local businesses and improve the local economy. 

Homann has noted if he could choose any company to come to DeWitt County, it would be a company like KwikWall for their trustworthy staff and commitment to the community.
