Growth

There is a narrative that the population of Illinois is shrinking. Don't tell that to one place in the Land of Lincoln that has an incredible growth rate of nearly 4,000 percent making it the fastest-growing area in Illinois.

Things change and that's rarely been more true than a town in Illinois that is now one of the fastest growing in the state. Way back when it used to be a swamp and I've got history to prove it.

Finally, good news for Rockford homeowners, but, of course there is a dark side to this good news.
