DeKALB – The DeKalb County Volunteer Action Center could begin work on a $15 million facility this summer that would allow it to offer expanded bus service, including a shuttle to the Elburn Metra Station.

Tom Zucker, executive director of the center, said the agency is closer to beginning plans for a 83,000 square-foot facility near the intersection of Peace and County Farm roads. The county has authorized 12 acres of land for the agency’s use and multiple grants have been identified, Zucker said.

The facility would be more than six times the size of the existing 13,000 square-foot operation.
