The DeWitt County Development Council is celebrating one of its most momentous years of all time.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Executive Director Curt Homann told the Hart Media Group that 2025 was filled with a trio of announcements that are going to be enormously beneficial to Clinton and DeWitt County.

While DCDC had nearly zero involvement in the Meta and Constellation Energy announcement from last summer, Homann says that it is going to be an enormous benefit to the community by not only keeping the power plant operating for many more years, but also the financial investment back into the community.

The announcement of Meyer's Industries in the former Arcosa location was momentous in 2026 as well, and Homann anticipates them beginning production in 2026 and says to be on the lookout for hiring events in the next few months.

DeWitt County is now home to two new banks in Clinton and Farmer City. Homann says it is always great when a banking institution is willing and able to set up shop in communities like these.

Homann credits the big moves in 2025 to so many people in Clinton, Farmer City, and DeWitt County government all pulling in the same direction and having the same priorities for the betterment of the community.

While 2025 was a banner year for the DCDC, Homann is very excited about what is to come for the organization in 2026. We'll have more with him on that in the days ahead at the Hart Media Group.
