MARQUETTE — Marquette’s Lasco Development Corp. has relocated its main office after 18 years of continuous growth. Formerly in the old railroad depot on Main Street, Lasco is now downstairs of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad building at 146 E. Washington St. The move was economic and will allow Lasco to consolidate its operation with LS&I, according to Gary Frederickson, vice president of operations. Lasco has three main divisions. It operates a data processing division, auto and equipment leasing segment, and automotive repair business. The auto repair segment will continue to be housed at its North Front Street location. Lasco has 25 employees and serves all of Michigan, according to Walter Kukla, Lasco’s executive vice president and general manager.
