FYI people from Chicago lobbied for the Indiana Dunes national park to cripple the ports in Northern Indiana to prevent competition.

In relation to this partnership or for other reasons?

It is simpler than that. If they tie up a big chunk of the land as a national park, it is harder to build a port to compete with Chicago.
