Proponents lobby Midway crowd on Peotone plan
Peotone supporters pressed at a breakfast meeting near Midway Airport as Illinois Transportation Secretary Kirk Brown sought to reassure locals that a Peotone airport would not close Midway. He argued Peotone would be a small supplementary field and Midway should remain open, while opponents warned of diverted funds and potential Midway squeeze. Local business leaders and officials from Oak Lawn, Worth, Chicago Ridge, Alsip, Orland Park, Tinley Park, and nearby areas attended, with mixed reactions and continued skepticism about the project.
