At the Dec. 22 board meeting, your MLEC Board of Directors unanimously voted to move forward with the new operations facility project. MLEC will be working with Architectural Resources Inc. and McGough Construction to bring the project to fruition. Located near the junction of Highways 169 and 18, the new site is ideally positioned to more effectively and efficiently serve MLEC’s growing member base, while still having easy access to reach the entire membership from a single location. Since its creation in 1940, MLEC has evolved into a critical infrastructure, serving more members with more offerings in a more connected world. “Our 1960s facility was wonderful when it was built, but our growth has constrained our existing facility’s ability to serve MLEC’s diverse business needs,” said Sarah Cron, CEO of MLEC. “This new operations facility will be transformative for MLEC now and for its next 80 years.” To read the full article, visit: Message Media
