Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles.

INTRODUCTION The Southern Illinois Airport has been a significant economic entity in Jackson County for many years. The potential for further economic growth was realized in the 1990’s when the cities of Carbondale and Murphysboro joined with the Southern Illinois Airport Authority and the Jackson County Board to form the Jackson County Business Development Corporation, now known as Jackson Growth Alliance, to promote economic development at the Southern Illinois Airport. A major initiative of the Jackson County Business Development Corporation was to promote the development of an educational facility at the airport that would provide a permanent home for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Aviation Technology, Aviation Flight and Management and Automotive Technology programs. These efforts supported the work of SIU, the State of Illinois and the Southern Illinois Airport Authority that culminated in the opening of the $60 million SIU Transportation Education Center in 2012. The Transportation Education Center presents tremendous economic development opportunities at the Southern Illinois Airport.
