But Peotone Residents Say They Don't Want To Move, Sell
Homes
The Illinois Department of Transportation and other
proponents of a third Chicago-area airport came a step closer to
their goal recently when the FAA approved a Facility Requirements
Report for IDOT's proposed master plan for the South Suburban
Airport in Peotone, IL, 46 miles south of Chicago. But only 2,300
of the 5,000 acres required to start construction have been
secured, and landowners say they'll fight to keep their homes.
