URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Urbana has whittled down its options on redistricting wards within the city.

The 2020 Census estimated the city’s population decreased by seven percent, and all the wards need to have equal populations. City officials opened a public submittal process.

Nine maps were submitted, and three finalists will be discussed. The three maps can be viewed on the city of Urbana’s website. The public is welcome to share their input.
