Frozen dollars from the State of Illinois to DeWitt County's Highway Department are now flowing to local municipalities, and summer maintenance work is underway.

At last Thursday's DeWitt County Board meeting, Highway Engineer Mark Mathon indicated his office continues to catch up on paperwork, with having everything completed and submitted very soon.

According to Board Chair Joe Witte, the County is starting to focus on some bigger projects that will be coming up.

While unrelated to the Highway Department's ongoing funding saga, last Thursday, the County Board approved multiple solar permitting agreements.
