It was an eventful calendar year 2025 in Clinton.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton City Administrator Tony Harris told the Hart Media Group that perhaps the biggest highlight of the year was all the industry announcements that will impact the community.

Perhaps the biggest announcement of the calendar year was the Meta/Constellation announcement from the summer. Mayor Helen Michelassi credits the community and its appeal to Constellation to remain in DeWitt County for many, many more years.

According to Harris, the emphasis on cleaning the community up has been very beneficial, and he feels those efforts correlate to businesses wanting to come to a community to establish itself here.

The Mayor also touts the completion of the Kiwanis Park renovation as a major accomplishment for the City of Clinton this year. Harris points to streamlining several forms at City Hall, going digital, and having access to those online. 

We'll have more with Harris and Mayor Michelassi in the days ahead about what's to come in 2026 for Clinton.
