Economic Drivers in DeWitt County, like Clinton Lake and the Farmer City Raceway, are beginning to open up as the weather begins to warm.

Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains that Clinton Lake is often the site for collegiate rowing competitions, noting that the University of Illinois will compete there in April. Practices at the Farmer City Raceway also begin this month. 

The DCDC has begun tracking generalized and anonymous data of people going in and out of the County, with hopes of leveraging the information to increase economic development. Homann says that while this endeavor is still in the early stages, he looks forward to seeing how it can be utilized during the area's tourism season. 

As warm weather starts to take hold in central Illinois, more and more people will be coming to DeWitt County to enjoy all that it has to offer. Learn more about economic development efforts from the DeWitt County Development Council by visiting dcdc-illinois.net.
