Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—May 31, 2013. Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) released the following statement today in reaction to the Illinois General Assembly’s approval of legislation that authorizes the construction of a third airport in the 2nd Congressional District. The Congresswoman is a longtime supporter of the airport proposal.
“This is a game-changer for Illinois. I applaud the Governor and General Assembly for breaking the logjam over governance. I’m hopeful that construction of this airport will expand our state’s aviation capacity and make the Southland a vital part of the global economy,” Rep. Kelly said.
“I look forward to working closely with IDOT and local officials to ensure we minimize environmental impacts and maximize economic benefits.”
