Illinois

I grew up in Joliet. Lived there from 4 months old until just before we got married.
Not a lot of open land between there & the lake any longer.
Easements alone are going to cost a ton.
Population growth there has been immense.
In 1990, there were less than 77,000 people living there. In 2019 there were >150k.
Essentially double in size in 29 years.
That said, the town sits on a huge limestone bed with lots of water. Maybe the rock is too hard to drill or something.
