The total cxiiporate environnent is coming to the junction of Route 47 and 1-90 at Huntley, Illinois. It will be a destination locstioo with eveiything needed for the business oomunity provided on site.
The central thane of the BiOOCH- acre developnent is the corporate aviation pork which consists of a 6,000 foot north-south runway and a 4,000 foot east-west runway and related hangar and auxiliary facilities located on 700 acres in the heart of the project. Ihe planning of the airport has been done by the pre-eminent engineering firm in the industry: Lester B. Knight and Associates. Ihe FAA has given its blessing on this project with its letter of approval of air space determination issued for this site.
The southeast comer of the site is reserved for a hotel resort oon|3lex with an 16-hole chairpionship golf oourse, Hilton Hotels, Inc. has issued a letter stating its intent to purchase this site, nie accounting firm of Idventhal and Horwath is currently oonpleting a feasibility study for this purciiase.
Ihe southwest comer of the project Is currently reserved for a mrld trade center ccnplex that will occu{:y up to 300 acres. Ttie development association for the trade center has issued a oamitment letter to pursue their developnent on this site.
Ihe western and northern portions of the site will be principally residential in nature with office and light industrial develc^nent acting as a buffer between the airport conplex and the residential areas.
The eastern border of the site will be designated as offic^research/industrial. These will be the high-density locations for major office users who require a high profile at the entretnoe to the park. There will be two major entrances to the project from Route 47. Seme retail is possible near the northern entrance, but the southern entrance should be held for a major office user.
Utilities for the project will be provided by the develc^er at the site. The waste water treatment will be acociipllshed by a closed circular system treatnent plant. This type of treatment facility is completely self contained and absolutely odorless. It will not only be able to handle the requirements of the project, it will be able to handle the excess from the Village of Huntley.' There will also be a oo-generation plant to provide electricity to the project and five deep aquifer wells to provide water.
TO understand the developnent potential of this site, one only has to look at the developnent that has taken place to the east. Roselle Road has developnent sites of 32 acres on the northeast comer and about 40 acres on the southwest corner. Barrington Road has had all the available Intersection land acquired in
the last year by flmerltedi, Sionan-Allis and Onion Pacific Realty. Only Union Pacific Realty has developable land and only 98 acres of that. The next developable intersection is Route 31 and 1-90. Of the four comers, only the northeast has any substantial land available. Hamilton Partners and Haegar Developnent both have sites available. However, Haegar Developnent has about 390 acres, but mast of this is going to be zoned residential. There will only be about 60 acres available for caimercial developnent. The closest intersection to the east will be at Randall Road and 1-90. Ot) Midwest has purchased 175 acres on the side of 1-90, split between the southeast and southwest comers. They are about to sell 100 acres to a major corporate user and are going to be developing a 200,000-square foot facility for First Bank Corporation, The north side of 1-90 has yet to be developed. However, the largest assemblage possible is about 275 acres.
Huntley Hills is the next and best location for the corporate user. He are proud to present this development plan for your revia*.

Huntley Third  Grade  Presents  "Abe  Lincoln"   Play
Huntley Third grade Cast of the "Abe Lincoln" Play pose for a photo shot after a delightful performance they gave at Huntley Grade School on Wednesday morning, February 8th. The play is performed by the third grade students each year, under the excellent direction of Mrs. Kathy Leggee, Third Grade Teacher.
We in the third grade have been learning about the life of Abraham Lincoln. We began learning our lines last October. Every last recess we would practice different scenes. During the month of January we practiced on the stage.
We learned many things about this 16th President, how he lived as a boy, his jobs, his presidency, his family and how he died.
We would like to thank our parents for helping us with this play and Solarcrete Energy Efficient Builders for providing the beautiful Costumes for us to wear. by Chandra Bakley
