A Peoria-Based Subcontractor Has Been Delivering the Goods in Central Illinois for 50 Years.
It was 1969. The counter-culture was still at odds with a burgeoning capitalist movement. With the landing on the moon, change seemed inevitable and progressive. But the Manson murders and Altamont symbolically put an end to hippiedom and the free spirits that fought for social change either retreated to enclaves that reflected their own ideals, or relented and pursued conventional careers. By 1970, some of the Baby Boomers felt it was time to throw their hats into the work pool and get jobs, marry and start a family. For many, the culture wars weren’t paying the bills and the idea to start a career—or a business— was something that should present itself. Many stepped up.
As such, Mid-Illinois Companies came from these times. The company has always strived to offer a broad range of services. Now of course, this came in inclement steps. But today, its core services as an interior contractor has expanded to better service its customers and stay in step with the evolution of the commercial construction industry. A lot has changed in 50 years.
