A long-standing proposal to turn the Gary Chicago International Airport into Chicago's third major airport received a boost in early 2006 with the approval of $48 million in federal funding over the next ten years.[1]
Expansion plans include a new multi-level Intermodal Terminal combining three modes of transit – passenger rail, passenger vehicles, and air travel. The rail system is designed to combine both commuter and high-speed lines.[2]
History
Gary/Chicago is operating as the "third airport" for the Chicagoland area, supplementing Chicago's overcrowded major airports, O'Hare and Midway. Gary/Chicago Airport has been designed with an eye towards growth, and the administration is courting the airlines aggressively. Numerous businesses, including Boeing, Menards and White Lodging Services, base their corporate aircraft here. A National Guard installation is also under construction. Chicagoland is an informal name for the Chicago metropolitan area, used by local residents, businesses, governments, and planning agencies. ...

Expanding Gary/Chicago Airport is considered an alternative to expanding O'Hare and/or constructing a new airport at Peotone, Illinois, 43 miles south of Chicago. Advantages of expanding the Gary airport include its proximity to downtown Chicago and its expandability; whereas expanding O'Hare would threaten nearby homes and businesses and constructing a Peotone airport would threaten farms, the land around Gary/Chicago Airport is relatively under-utilized. This plan is backed by the mayors of Gary and Chicago, while the Illinois state government is in favor of construction at Peotone. Tax revenues from a new airport at Peotone would go to the Illinois state government, while those from an expanded Gary airport would go to a regional airport authority, and thus to the cities of Chicago and Gary. Peotone is a village in Will County, Illinois, United States. ...
