Dixon area not pursuing Chana site for prison work camp
The Department of Corrections remains open to a work camp near Dixon within 20 to 25 miles while dropping the 140 acre Chana site. Spokesman Nic Howell said no active search at Chana but pledged proximity to Dixon Correctional Center and 100 new jobs with a 4.5 million annual budget. Local petitioner Ginny Cragg welcomed the setback but urged caution about other locations in Ogle County. State Rep Myron Olson confirmed the decision and said a formal DOC announcement would follow.
