True but where else do you build something that big. I have been reading more and this is tied in with a whole bunch of other things that the democrats don't want cut. In hopes to get a budget passed, I may have to head down one weekend to check it out.

In one of many forest preserves that Lake Count has spent millions of dollars of tax dollars buying. Build it and they will come, but if noone lives there, it's harder for them to count.

This probably would have fared better in Kane county but it was Blago's way of courting downstate voters.

Reminds me of the Mid-America St. Louis Airport, near Scott AFB IL; large airport with grand expectations and never amounted to anything near what they planned.

The only population center is St. Louis and why would someone from MO drive 50 miles into socialist Illinois to shoot, and risk all that entails, when they can drive 50 miles into the Ozarks and shoot wherever they want?

Yeah, but there are periods in between were it sits empty or there are no vendors there

My understanding is it is not sustaining itself. If it were a business relying solely in income it would be bleeding money and probably closed a long time ago.
Even though it is a gun range and we like that, it is an example of why capitalism works and a command economy does not.
The market did not want this, at least not here.
If you put that up here in the north/northwest suburbs it would be booming (and not from the gun fire).
