Planes, Trains and Automobiles are an excellent way to describe Sugar Grove’s transportation resources. Sugar Grove is strategically located just 42 miles west of Chicago and western neighbors of Aurora (Illinois second largest city). State Highways 47, 30 and 56 run through our community, with Interstate 88 on our northern border and the soon to be Prairie Parkway on the western edge of Sugar Grove. Burlington Sante Fe railroad spans from east to west of the community with several rail spur opportunities. The Aurora Municipal Airport (www.auroraairport.com) is located along state highway 30 in Sugar Grove. The friendly airport is home to Luminair, Air Classic Museum, Vision Friendly.com and our newest business JA Air. These are just a few highlights of the airport:

along with a 5,500 foot crosswind runway suitable for most types of turbine aircraft.
