📰 News we're reading
• Rantoul, Mahomet police pursue 25-year training agreement (news-gazette.com) — Mahomet police could secure 25 years of access to Rantoul's new firearms range for a one-time $25,000 contribution. The proposed partnership would eliminate ongoing range-rental fees and help officers avoid scheduling conflicts that have sometimes interrupted training in Champaign. Rantoul would retain first priority for scheduling. 
• Champaign County's data center ordinance will stop at city limits, officials say (cu-citizenaccess.org) — Champaign County's planned data center rules would not govern projects inside Mahomet village limits, county officials say. Mahomet ended talks with Clean Cloud Energy on Oct. 5 after strong opposition, but the proposal exposed confusion over zoning authority. Officials said planned annexation—not the village's surrounding planning zone—would have placed the site under village zoning.
