The CEO students enjoyed a visit to Effingham City Hall. They heard from Todd Hull and Sasha Althoff, who shared valuable information about the different districts within the city. They also discussed the various opportunities that Effingham offers for businesses, including tax abatements and TIF funding, which can greatly assist in fostering economic growth.

In addition to their presentation, our students enjoyed a guided tour of the local police department. A highlight of the visit was an impressive demonstration by the police dog, showcasing the vital role these animals play in community safety. It was a great opportunity for the students to develop a deeper understanding of local governance and community resources.
