Chanute AFB Re-Use Plan
Chanute AFB Re-Use Plan
Rantoul, IL
Mr. Gross tested the market potential for re-use of Chanute Air Force Base. He also contributed to the economic development strategy for the reuse plan, which included an assessment of spin-off opportunities driven by the University of Illinois in nearby Champaign-Urbana. Industrial uses also formed an important part of this reuse planning effort, which has since paid off in significant redevelopment of the base since closure. Automotive parts manufacturers are among the new employers on base.
