The Illinois Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association has relocated, but the move is only temporary.

“We had to vacate our office because of imminent domain,” said Billy Serbousek, executive vice president, referring to NECA’s previous headquarters at 3701 S. Sixth St. “Illinois Department of Transportation is acquiring our property and tearing it down as part of the planned Sixth Street expansion.”

NECA has purchased the nearby building at 6405 Canadian Cross Dr., which previously housed Prairie Engineers, but doesn’t anticipate being able to move in until winter of 2024.

NECA is doing a complete remodel and adding an addition to the building at 6405 Canadian Cross Dr. that will become the group's new headquarters.

“We’re building an addition as well as doing a full remodel,” said Serbousek. The addition will add approximately 1,500 square feet to the existing 3,500-square-foot space.

In the meantime, NECA is operating out of office space at 3900 Pintail Dr., Suite B.

John Shafer is the architect for the project, and Serbousek said, “We’re hoping to put it out to bid by the middle of January.”
