Summary
A representative for the Farm to City Harvest Store asked the DeWitt County Finance Committee on Aug. 19 for ARPA funding to help open a co‑op grocery in Farmer City; committee members heard DCDC assisted with a state grant application but took no action.
On Aug. 19, 2024 the DeWitt County Finance Committee heard a request for ARPA support for Farm to City Harvest Store, a cooperative grocery planned for Farmer City. Lora Enger read a statement to the committee asking the county to contribute ARPA funds to support the store, which she said would serve the Farmer City area.
Curt Homann, identified in the minutes as representing DCDC, told the committee DCDC has been working with the grocer co‑op and assisted with applying for a state grant; he also said the City of Farmer City would likely provide funds. The committee discussed options but did not vote or commit funding; no dollar amount was recorded in the minutes for a county contribution. The minutes note no formal action was taken on the request.
