Champaign officials taking educational road trip

CHAMPAIGN – The city council, at least a portion of it, will hit the road Thursday morning, bound for West Lafayette, Ind., on an educational trip. And residents with a serious interest in city government are welcome to come along.

Champaign officials are planning a bus trip Thursday to find out how another Big Ten city, West Lafayette, deals with issues like developing a university research park, controlling student alcohol abuse and methods to improve neighborhoods.
