This program about the economy in central Illinois is part of WILL Connect. It grew out of community conversations WILL held this summer in Champaign, Vermilion, and Macon Counties. If you or a family you know needs help keeping up, we encourage you to visit willconnect.org/economy. From there you can hear other reports and programs about the economy’s effect. You can also connect to agencies in your area for guidance and counseling. We thank First Call for Help Decatur, United Way of Danville, Family Service of Champaign County and the Community Service Center in Rantoul for their partnership.
