About MIC

About Us

Mid-Illinois Companies is a privately owned commercial construction and maintenance service company doing business in Peoria, Illinois since 1970. Although we have experienced dramatic growth, we maintain the consistently high-quality work and commitment to community involvement that helped build our reputation in Central Illinois.

MIC Timeline

Mid-Illinois Companies, Corp. is a privately owned construction company founded by entrepreneur Dan Higdon in 1970. In 1979, expanded operations prompted a move to our current location at 905 N.E. Adams St. in Peoria, IL, and in July 2013 we opened a second office in Springfield, IL. As we have continued to grow throughout the years, we have gained strength and experience in the commercial construction industry while growing our reputation for dependability and quality. Debra Young, Robert “Bobby” Taylor and Dennis Higdon currently share ownership of Mid-Illinois Companies, Corp.
