Employees scheduled to move in to new Leonardtown office in June

SMECO began construction on the new facility in Leonardtown in July 2019. Work is proceeding on schedule, and the new building is on track to be occupied in June. After employees are transferred into the new facility, SMECO will close the customer service center and demolish the old building. Until a new customer service center is constructed, SMECO's lobby will be closed to members. The customer service lobby is scheduled to open by the end of 2021.
