There is much more to Clinton, however. We offer quality municipal utility services including electric, water, and sewer. If any problems occur with your utilities, they can be resolved locally. As municipal utilities, they are governed by you through the elected officials you elect as representatives to the council. You are welcome to attend their open meetings and express any concerns.
Our children attend Clinton Community Schools whose goal it is “to develop individuals who see, understand, and apply information; value themselves and others; and who have the capacity to independently and cooperatively participate in a rapidly changing society.” Several major colleges/universities are an easy commute.
