2023 Historic Community Impact Award

Centrica Business Solutions provided a turn-key solution to achieve Coles County's long-sought historic restoration of the Courthouse's exterior. They replaced 380 windows in an 1898 building where every window required precision measurements and custom design. It transformed an icon in Coles County, Illinois, into a picture of its former glory. Centrica also played a crucial role in securing funds through the American Rescue Plan Act to advance the project.
