I have a very curious hobby and I built my research around it. I worked with 4 state governments to complete the project, and now I am applying to schools in those states.
In the eyes of Adcoms is this a good justification?? I am including a lot of things I like about the schools as well, but I really like my hobby and I wish to keep doing it in any of those 4 states 🙁

Not an ADCOM, but if this is something you're passionate about, and something that lures you to the school, then I would definitely mention it. However,I wouldn't make it the main focus. The main focus should be more school-specific stuff that fits "who you are," as you said you were going to do.

Thanks guys, I think I'll leave it out from the essays and mention it if it ever comes up during the interview. After all, it's just a hobby.
