McDonough County CEO trade show showcases five student businesses
Tabi Jozwick, Voice Correspondent
MACOMB On Tuesday, the McDonough County CEO program hosted a trade show for five area high school students to share their businesses with the public.
According to McDonough County CEO chair Rachel Lenz, the purpose of the program is to teach high school students the skills of running a business. She said in addition to entrepreneurial skills, the high school students also learn soft skills such as networking which are beneficial to businesses.
“We re always here to help but know that the business ideas have to be their own,” Lenz said. “We will step in if we see them going down a path that is not a good one. But otherwise, these students build up to this point through the entire year of engagement with the CEO program and the ideas are their own. The designs are their own, the business plan they created on their own, so yeah this is all their work.”

MACOMB U.S. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate Majority Whip, met Wednesday with 46 members of the Macomb Area Chamber of Commerce via ZOOM from his office in Chicago. He said that he would later be traveling to Springfield and then to Bloomington to tour the former Mitsubishi plant.
Durbin said the Biden administration s American Rescue Plan would deliver $13.7 billion in state and local dollars, with $5.7 million going to McDonough County. I think we re on the road to being back in business, he said.
Brad Bainter of Western Illinois University told Durbin that rural poverty has now surpassed urban poverty in Illinois. He said more money is needed for four-year colleges and universities, especially if President Joe Biden succeeds in making community colleges tuition-free.
