I'm just not sure that's viable in this day and age aside from Metro east (St. Louis) and Urbana-Champaign. In other midwestern states, isn't all the economic growth in the largest metro areas as well?
Wonder how long before John Deere relocates its HQ to Chicago, they have lots of international business as well. How about Whirlpool? They are in Benton Harbor, that's got to be hard sell for recruiters.
