Three legislators representing Homewood and Flossmoor are working to get a cargo airport built in the south suburbs.
Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood) sponsored HB2531 with support from Rep. Debbie Meyers-Martin (D-Olympia Fields) and Rep. Anthony DeLuca (D-Chicago Heights). The bill would direct the State of Illinois to prepare and issue a request for qualifications to seek proposals from the private sector for a cargo-based South Suburban Airport as a public-private sector partnership.
The House State Government Administration Committee gave unanimous support to the legislation at a hearing on Wednesday . . .
