City officials will hold a series of meetings in which community members will be able to share their ideas about the future of DeKalb.

Residents, students, workers and employers are invited to contribute to all seven meetings, which will be attended by City Manager Marie Gaura and Assistant City Manager Patty Hoppenstedt, according to a City of DeKalb news release. The NIU Center for Governmental Studies will document the conversations and organize them into a single 10-year strategic plan, which will be available for review in September, according to the City of DeKalb.
