Yes, graves were moved for the St. Louis airport expansion. I don't think the opposition has a chance.

And in addition to the annaxation, there is some unincorperated land that will surley be annexed in as well, so the gain will be larger than 120 Acres. I also noticed some patches of unicorperated land along I-90, which got me to thinking; If Chicago began annexing northwestward, starting with the Oaisis Mobile Home Park, it would follow along the routing of the Metra STAR Line, a great opportunity for TOD redevelopment, and it would be within the city limits too, while keeping spill over airport revenues and ecconomic growth in the city, rather than Elk Grove Village.
