Will Beloit join Illinois?

Census Bureau is considering attaching the Beloit urban area to the Rockford Metropolitan Statistical Area. City of Beloit officials were recently notified of the plan, which has been published in the Federal Register, and they now plan to file an appeal.

Beloit is currently a recognized urban center attached to the Janesville MSA, but the Census Bureau is considering attaching Beloit to the Rockford MSA because development between the two cities has resulted in almost continuous urban land uses from Rockford to Beloit by way of Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe, Rockton and South Beloit.
