Because of an increase in job opportunities and enrollment, LICCO Inc. moved from the school to its own home at 675 W. Church St., in 1978. At that time, LICCO had several contracts, including those with the former Newark Air Force Base, Holophane and Callander Cleaners. By 1981, LICCO had outgrown the Church Street site. Ground was broken for the current LICCO workshop on Industrial Parkway in Heath.
