The announcement of Meyer Industries and QuikWall coming to Clinton in 2025 is sure to spur further growth in 2026. 

By year's end, DeWitt County could be looking at 500 new jobs, says Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council. He indicates Meyer continues its search for employees, and QuikWall will soon be nearly fully operational.

Homann indicates the announcements of QuikWall and Meyer last year have already created momentum in new business likely coming to Clinton in 2026. While he cannot talk about it, he says announcements could be made, quote - very, very soon.

Additionally, Homann anticipates dirt being moved this year for more housing development in Clinton as the City pursues TIF districts for both residential and business districts. 

He feels there is a lot of positive excitement in Clinton for what is happening.
