<div>MONROE – Southern Electrical Equipment Company plans to expand its operations in Monroe Corporate Center after the Monroe City Council voted Nov. 10 to sell the company 20.21 acres of city-owned property. The project represents an anticipated investment of $7 million to $10 million and isexpecetd to retain 160 existing jobs in Monroe while creating 35 new positions. The first phase of SEECO’s expansion will consist of distribution and warehousing.“SEECO’s continued investment is good news for Monroe and the people who work here,” City Manager Mark Watson said. “Keeping skilled manufacturing jobs in our community while adding new ones matters to our local economy. We appreciate SEECO’s commitment to Monroe and look forward to watching the company grow.”SEECO manufactures transmission and substation equipment for the electrical utility industry. The company currently operates from a nearly 109,000-square-foot space in Monroe Corporate Center, where it consolidated employees from former locations in Charlotte and Indian Trail. The additional property gives SEECO room to grow while staying in Monroe.“We want our existing industries to know that when they’re ready to grow, we’re here to work with them,” said Teresa Campo, the city’s economic development director. “SEECO chose to bring its operations together in Monroe and invest in its future here. That’s exactly the kind of growth we want to encourage.”Because Monroe owns and operates its own electric, natural gas, water and wastewater utilities, the city can work directly with manufacturers on infrastructure and service needs. That, along with Monroe’s location in the Charlotte region and its access to major transportation corridors, continues to attract industrial investment.</div>
