Officials are excited about legislation, not yet signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, that would require IDOT to accept bids for developing Bult Field
U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, who represents Illinois’ Second Congressional District, expresses her excitement June 17, 2024, for the South Suburban Airport at a news conference with state Rep. Will Davis, Patrick Young of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, and Irma Holloway, executive director of the Black Contractors, Owners and Executives.
Talks of developing a third Illinois airport in the south suburbs have been ongoing for 30 years, Kelly said. Many have expressed skepticism the plan could move forward with doubts cast over the project’s economic benefits outweighing environmental harms.over the past two legislative sessions have renewed the hopes of government officials who see the project as a generator of opportunity for those living in the often struggling south suburbs.
“Illinois likes to boast that it is the first in a lot of things,” Davis said. “Wouldn’t it be great if we were the first state to develop and build this type of airport, to continue along the governor’s mantra of turning Illinois into a carbon free state?”
