Coverage on this page runs across Aurora city hall and the Kane County board, East Aurora Public School District 131, West Aurora Public School District 129 and Indian Prairie School District 204, and the manufacturing and distribution employers that anchor the local economy. From the West Side and East Side to the Far East Side, neighborhood reporting runs through the city and extends into DuPage County, Kendall County and Will County where a story crosses the line. Aurora's size and its position along the Fox River corridor make it a regional center for commerce and services in a part of the Chicago metropolitan area where suburban growth has been sustained for decades. Infrastructure investment, school district boundaries that cross multiple municipalities and the allocation of Kane County resources are the local government subjects that return most often to the Aurora civic agenda.
