Information was gathered from the U.S. Census and a variety of preliminary planning documents from 2008 to Given that most of these projects are at the early stages of planning and development, the information below is subject to change. For questions, please contact Christopher De Sousa, [email protected]. Research support provided by Jason Tilidetzke and Kevin Duffy. This work was performed under a subcontract with the University of Illinois at Chicago and made possible by grant number TR from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
