A nonprofit that serves housing insecure youth and young people with family instability has opened a new Youth Education and Support Center on Bloomington’s west side.

Project Oz broke ground Thursday on its long-awaited building expansion that will make room for the Youth Education and Support Center that could open in as early as six months, CEO Lisa Thompson told WGLT. She added that groundwork is set to start next week.

McLean County Board Chair Catherine Metsker suspended meetings for the behavioral health advisory committee. She's given little detail about what that might mean for committee members or the public. Here's what WGLT knows so far.
