Area municipalities, cities and
townships are always looking for ways to
more efficiently run and manage their
budgets.
In an effort to help these various
entities keep on top of ways to achieve
these goals, collaboration was identified as
a key component.
The Peoria County Extension office, in
response to a recent survey of township,
city and other municipal officials, has
created this first-time offering designed to
help answer some questions. .
Our hope is that this Community
Development Summit will become an
annual affair, with a variety of topics
designed to answer the needs presented
by area officials to the Peoria County
Extension office.
Space for the 2008 Community
Development Summit is limited
to 40 participants, so please
