I remember talking to a friend of mine who works for the state, and he told me it was set up as a five year project. It's just like the widening around Bloomington - I believe this is the fifth year of that project.
As far as the tournament staying in Peoria, there are a lot of people that are working on getting it back to Champaign where it belongs. Somehow the allure of playing at the Civic Center just isn't the same as the Assembly Hall. I will give Peoria it's due in that there are more things to do within a closer radius, and they also have Big Al's...

Big Al's, two blocks from Carver!
Anyways, I've heard they are trying to get to back to Champaign. However, rumor is that it's going to stay in Peoria. For one, really enjoy being able to park my car for the whole weekend and just walk. Plus, it's said that the IHSA is still really sour about the whole jacking the prices up that Champaign did.
