Legislation that calls on the state to seek a partner to build an air cargo airport in the south suburbs was signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker after a major push by area legislators and development groups.
Bult Field in Monee, a possible site for the South Suburban Airport.
“This is a big step,” said Reggie Greenwood, executive director of the Chicago Southland Economic Development Corp. “The state is now committed to doing a process to develop a relationship with a private-sector partner.”The state has spent $100 million to buy some 5,000 acres for the proposed airport near Monee, and Greenwood said that acreage represents about 90% of the needed land.
Opponents have said the airport would waste public money and rich agricultural land, encourage urban sprawl and cause environmental issues.
