  • Midwest Struggles to Shake Off Rust
    Midwest Struggles To Shake Off Rust Chicago and Minneapolis prove diversified economies are the key to sustaining growth, while the Midwest’s overall dependence on manufacturing has caused the region to fall behind the national pace. January 2008 Midwest Struggles To Shake Off Rust By Dr. Peter Linneman, PhD Chief Economist, NAI Global Principal, Linneman Associates Ten years ago, the upper Midwest region had enough economic growth to almost shake off its distinction as part of the “Rust Belt.” Today economic growth in the region has once again fallen behind the nation and the culprit is clear: The region’s reliance on manufac- turing keeps pushing it back into the “Rust Belt” category. Manufacturing industries drive fluctuations in the region’s overall economic growth. As such, the region is more sensitive to global shifts in manufactured goods. Even as the country’s overall economy is rebounding, the six states in the upper Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin--face significant challenges on several fronts such as increasing unemployment, job creation and a growing per capita income gap between metro and non-metropolitan areas. Beginning in 2000, more than half the cities in the region projected modest job growth and nearly a quarter of them did expand, but still a majority of the cities fell Manufacturing as a % of Total Employment (With Trendline) short of their expected job growth. These shortfalls reflect a tie between manufacturing and other industries. For example, business service firms in the region also underperformed because their clients are manufacturers. Even though the region may be trying to attract Percent other industries to build a more service-oriented economy, the reliance on manufacturing is still high.

  • Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.

Land Tenure in the United States With Special Reference to Illinois CHARLES LESLIE STEWART PREFACE This thesis is based largely upon United States census sta- tistics, the reliability of which is seldom questioned. Illinois is a suitable state in which to make a type study of land tenure. Its value for such a study arises from: (1) its size and importance in the production of grain; (2) the variety of conditions in its agricultural economy; (3) its location in the great farming region of the Mississippi valley; (4) the ease of access its farmers have to large local markets as well as to other domestic and to foreign markets; and (5) the fact that, agricul- turally, Illinois is neither an old nor a new state.

    DATE: October 19, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor John Rey City Council FROM: Anne Marie Gaura, City Manager Tim Holdeman, Public Works Director Tom Cleveland, Airport Manager SUBJECT: Presentation of the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport Organizational and Governance Study by Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Executive Director, Strategy and Development, Jack Penning. Background The City hired Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. in January 2015 to research, report, and provide recommendations on the organizational and governance structures for the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport (DTMA). The draft report was completed in June 2015, however, finalization of the report was delayed when the former Public Works Director resigned. Subsequently, the current Public Works Director Tim Holdeman was hired and has been involved in the review of the report. The report (attached) was provided to the Airport Advisory Board in September 2016. Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Executive Director, Strategy and Development, Jack Penning presented the findings and recommendations of the report to the Airport Advisory Board during a special meeting held on October 4, 2016 (attached). The Conclusions and Recommendations section of the report (p. 44–53) lays out five goals. City staff agree that these goals represent short-term actions that will better position DTMA to take advantage of its assets and potential new business. Goal one is to facilitate better communication between the Airport Manager, Public Works Director, and City Manager by having one-hour meetings at least once each month. These meetings have been taking place since June 2016. Another key goal is to change the structure and purpose of the Airport Advisory Board.
