BY TIM MITCHELL
© 2009 THE NEWS-GAZETTE
    Just south of Champaign is the village of Savoy, which the Census Bureau rates as the fastest growing community in Champaign County. A 2004 special census listed Savoy's population at 5,606, and additional homes are built there each month.
   Savoy is the home of Willard Airport, the University of Illinois golf course and a variety of entertainment options, including a multiplex movie theater, skating rink, bowling alley and miniature golf course.
