Two developers are interested in DeWitt County as potential locations for hotels. 

DeWitt County Development Council (DCDC) Executive Director Curt Homann explained to the DeWitt County Board that they are requesting $30,000 for feasibility studies, stemming from two separate investor groups who have expressed interest in building and owning a hotel in the area.

The $30,000 will be pulled from the county’s Economic Development fund to pay the Iowa-based Core Distinction Group. Homann says the study will provide the financial documentation necessary for lenders to get involved.

The DeWitt County Board approved the $30,000 allocation for a comprehensive hotel feasibility study at its April meeting.
