Champaign council to review proposed economic-development budget 
At its meeting tonight, the city council will review a proposed $1,190,572 economic-development program budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Blakeman said city partnerships in the proposed budget are the same as ones in this current fiscal year, but the council can propose new ones at this week's meeting.
