David Torbert with the DeWitt County Development Council indicates their efforts to raise $25-thousand, which would be matched by State Farm, are still ongoing and they are just a few thousand dollars short of their goal.

 

 

As leaders of the DCDC get out into the community rallying support, Torbert says the big theme they hear is they want to see results from the DCDC. 

 

 

For Torbert, he and others within DCDC envision the organization working alongside businesses in the community to help meet their needs.

 

 

Torbert indicates the deadline to meet the $25-thousand challenge through State Farm is the end of the month. He hopes business owners that might be interested in participating in the challenge and becoming involved in DCDC further will visit their website, www.dcdc-illinois.org.
