State budget constraints have prompted the University of Illinois Extension to explore ways to cut costs and still provide high-impact programming. Extension leaders now are seeking public input on their options. A series of public meetings are scheduled. Locally, meetings will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 25, at the DeKalb Unit Office, 1350 W. Prairie Drive, Sycamore; and from 6 to 8 p.m. March 2 at the Kane Unit Office, 535 S. Randall Road, St. Charles.
