Benefitting from Buffett
Many thanks to Howard Buffett for all the many FANTASTIC ways he is blessing Decatur and Macon County.
He is gifting some AMAZING stuff that will be enjoyed by generations!
Since Howard Buffett moved to the Decatur area in 1992 to become a corporate vice president and assistant to the chairman at agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, the city has been home, at least part of the time. In his mind, it's not as much of a home as Omaha, Neb., where he grew up and where his dad and sister still reside.
Nevertheless, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation has given or pledged $55.1 million in the city and surrounding Macon County over the past two decades to help stanch the area's hemorrhaging population. Dozens of grants, including those paying for a new lakefront amphitheater and a law enforcement training facility, aim to help make the area a better place to live.
