A lot of hard work has gone into bringing industry into Clinton and DeWitt County, which will strengthen the economy. 

Clinton City Administrator Tony Harris explains that the partnership with Curt Homann and the DeWitt County Development Council has been instrumental in driving economic development. It has taken a lot of teamwork to bring manufacturers like Kwik Wall and Myers Industry to the area, and he hopes that makes more businesses want to move to the area

Not only is big business coming to Clinton, but so are small businesses. Harris indicates a sequel location to an old fan-favorite restaurant in Clinton is in the works. 

According to Harris, the City is encountering a challenge in space to develop. This is why the City is exploring expanding its limits, which is easier said than done. 

The City is also looking into creating more Tax Increment Financing, or TIF, districts, which would spur more economic development. Harris points out that this is something that is in the works.

Harris believes the City is moving in a good direction and is excited to continue working with the DCDC and DeWitt County to improve economic development.
