About 50 community leaders gathered for a "Breakfast Chat" this morning. The Lincoln and Logan County Development Partnership hosted the event to discuss the future of Logan County. "This has been an important year for economic development in Logan County," said Ron Schilling, president of the partnership. He cited the Sysco groundbreaking, Wal-Mart development agreement, the Illini Bio-Energy ethanol plant planning to come to Hartsburg, and Lincoln has new homes for the disabled being built with the hope of future development at Lincoln Estates, the former LDC grounds.
