The Peoria County Board will hold five monthly meetings outside the courthouse building this year. Board chairman Andrew Rand says he got the idea from the Peoria City Council going on the road last year during city hall renovations:
“We’re picking areas in the county where we know we can get a good-sized public facility and where we’re more likely to attract a larger crowd.”
Rand says the monthly full board meetings will be held on the even-numbered months through October. He says locations will include Chillicothe, Dunlap and Bartonville.
