The population was 2945 at the 2010 census, down from 3,542 in 2000. Savanna is located along the Mississippi River at the mouth of the Plum River. Going from north to south, the second automobile bridge between Iowa and Illinois is located just north of Savanna, and is part of U.S. Route 52. The bridge leads to Sabula, Iowa, which is across the river from Savanna. Savanna is also served by two major railroads, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) Railway Company and the (CP) Canadian Pacific. Savanna also has a small airport, (The Tri-Township Airport (KSFY) ). Savanna is protected by the Savanna Police, Fire Department and Ambulance Service. All three organizations maintain stations on Chicago Avenue. The three organizations were located in the same building (a throwback to when the fire department was responsible for the ambulance) but the original building only houses the fire department and one of the back up for Carroll County 911 dispatch. Savanna used to have its own hospital but this has since been converted to an assisted living facility, Pinnacle Place. All ambulance patients are transported to Mercy Medical Center in Clinton, Iowa or other Illinois hospitals. The Savanna Ambulance is one of two in the county to have paramedic certified members (a distinction shared with the Mount Carroll Volunteer Ambulance.) Savanna has produced several notable natives. These include "America's Waltz King" Wayne King,〔http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/king_wayne/bio.jhtml〕 professional wrestler Tommy Treichel, Billy Zoom (Tyson Kindell)〔http://www.billyzoom.com/niceguy.html〕 founding member and original guitarist of the punk band X, MLB player Pete Lister〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/listepe01.shtml )〕 , and former NASA astronaut Dale Gardner.〔http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/gardner-da.html〕 ==Savanna Army Depot== In 1917, the United States Army purchased of land about seven miles (11 km) north of Savanna to construct the Savanna Army Depot. Originally the land was to be used as a test range for munitions produced at the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois. In 1921, the mission of the installation was changed to be a depot.〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/savanna.htm〕/. From WWII thru Vietnam, Savanna Army Depot served as a munitions maintenance and storage facility for traditional, chemical, and nuclear weapons. With about 2,000 highly trained civilian employees holding Government security clearances working there in the '60s, this base was guarded and protected by the 516th Military Police Company, U.S. Army Materiel Command. Armed with .45 caliber sidearms, 12 gauge pump-action shotguns, state-of-the-art electronic surveillance systems, gas masks, etc. as standard daily issue, these 300 highly educated and very well trained MP's ensured 24/7 safety and security for all concerned. The 516th's primary mission, however, was to operate and defend what was then known as the "J Area" - where the munitions were actually stored and handled by civilian employees. Nothing went in or out of the J Area without MP scrutiny - including employee lunch boxes. Fast-forward ... By 1995, the Savanna Army Depot was identified by U.S. Congress as one of the bases that would be closed under the Base Realignment and Closure Act or BRAC. On March 18, 2000, the Savanna Army Depot was closed.〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/brac.htm〕 The Jo-Carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) was established in 1997 by an intergovernmental agreement between the Illinois counties of Jo Daviess and Carroll to redevelop the former Savanna Army Depot.〔http://www.lrasavannail.us/AboutUs〕 These are some of the many companies that have chosen an area onsite called "Savanna Depot Park" as their home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://qctimes.com/news/local/depot-tries-to-lure-businesses/article_e10fba9a-fa36-11e1-9981-0019bb2963f4.html )〕 * Area 51 LLC, a grain bin operation * bryer Productions, a photography business * Commander’s House at the Savanna Army Depot, owned by A&B Holdings, plans are to make the house a destination for corporate and family retreats * Depot Electric Supply 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.depotelectric.com/default.html )〕 * Fluidic MicroControls, which is doing research and development on micro turbines 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.manta.com/c/mt1hxq8/fluidic-microcontrols-inc )〕 * Illinois Information Management, which is leasing its space for office use * Illinois International Trade Center, operated by the Jo-Carroll Foreign Trade Zone * Jeanblanc International Inc, which specializes in advanced environmental technologies for the oil industry 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jeanblanc.com/ )〕 * Midwest 3PL (Third Party Logistics), a full-service warehousing operation * Rescar, a railcar repair company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rescar.com/default.asp )〕 * Riverport Railroad LLC, which services, repairs and stores railcars as well as coupling long lines of rail cars for the BNSF 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://riverportrailroad.com/ )〕 * Savanna Stables, which owns former barracks and a barn that SolRWind plans to lease or buy * Speer Recycling, a metal recycler 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savanna, Illinois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
