Jacksonville is near Springfield, IL - much closer to St. Louis, MO than to Chicago, IL.  It is on I-72, and close to I-55.

   
Minnesota Minnesota contacts list Major properties : US Great Lakes Selective projects : Minnesota
Le Sueur, Minnesota

Great brands reflect the personal quality commitment, performance, integrity and character of the people behind them.  Green Giant, one of the world's great brands, developed in this valley for nearly 100 years until M&A deals moved most operations elsewhere. 

They still maintain a museum with extensive exhibits about the company heritage.   How many towns do that after a major employer leaves?  LeSueur may be small, but it is just a short drive away from Minneapolis and the international airport on a good highway, and still has great potential because of the people.

"Napa the way it used to be".

That may be a bit of a stretch, but this area is now becoming well-known for quality wine rather than just the national research laboratory and high concentration of engineers.

It is also proving to be an attractive hub for distribution and other types of projects as a comparatively low cost location in the Northwest US with good logistics infrastructure by road, rail, water and a regional airport.
