Our View: Downtown DeKalb worth a visit

It’s an age-old question: What should we do about downtown?

The question probably has been asked hundreds of times over the past 30 years in DeKalb. Last week it was asked again at a meeting sponsored by Re:New DeKalb, the city of DeKalb and the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

About 50 community leaders showed up to share ideas about improving downtown and discuss its future. Some of the suggestions included expanding the core both eastward and westward and integrating Northern Illinois University.
