Two great resources for our citizens are two sites you can find on Facebook: Local First Clinton County and Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce. Both sites have great resources to help our local businesses out. These sites are maintained by Dessie Rogers, a local native who is passionate about our community and a wonderful example of growing up in a small community and coming back home to make a difference. We realize this is a tough time and we know the resiliency of our citizens. The Clinton County community has pulled through some tough times and we look forward to better times ahead.
