Hopkins Park, a small south-suburban community founded by African American farming families, will soon have access to natural gas in their homes and busineses for the first time.Hopkins Park, a small town just outside Kankakee, was founded decades ago by African American farming families. The Pembroke Township community has always been full of pride, but poor.
Hopkins Park has had no access to natural gas so residents and businesses are forced to heat their homes and cook with propane gas or electricity. Propane tanks can cost anywhere from $800 to $1,500 to fill, and may only last a month. "Eight out of 10 homes in Illinois have access to natural gas for cooking and heating so providing for community is so important," said Wendall Dalls, CEO and president of Nicor Gas.
