DE-LIGHTFUL MOVE
Intercon Solutions Inc. calls itself
a de-manufacturer. It recycles computer equipment for
a price, and business was so good it had to move from
its longtime home at 4401 W. Ogden. As of Monday, it
began operating from a 300,000-square-foot facility
in Chicago Heights at 1001-59 Washington.
Chief Executive Brian Brundage said the
company still does business at Ogden Avenue, but he
expects to sell the 140,000-square-foot building for
a future strip mall. "Everything in that neighborhood
is being bought up,'' he said.
Brundage lives downtown and so has lengthened
his own commute, but he said he's been gratified by
the reception he's gotten in Chicago Heights, which
usually gets written up only for crimes and corruption.
Neighboring business owners drop by to say hello, Brundage
said, and residents request job applications and actually
return them. "That tells me this is an area that wants
to get better. They want development,'' he said.
