Highway 99 Property Purchased by Electrical Contracting Company

A new business is coming to town!  Portland Electrical Construction Inc. has decided to move their headquarters from their current shop in Oregon City to 21187 Highway 99E.

This family run business opened their doors in 1986 and has built their business on the principle of steady growth while maintaining a high level of customer service. Their team of approximately 40 electricians have been working on a variety of commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical construction projects for over 30 years.

When the company’s founder and family patriarch, Mike Donohue, passed away in 2016, his wife Jan Donohue partnered with Greg Boen and her sons, Corey and Matt, to help run this now woman owned business. The company is in the early planning stages right now but hopes to have its main office relocated to Aurora within the next year and a half.

City Recorder W. Scott Jorgensen said the city is happy to welcome the company to the community.

“I’ve really enjoyed working with the Donohue’s over the last few months to make this project happen,” Jorgensen said. “Portland Electrical Construction, Inc. will bring family wage jobs to Aurora and I think they’ll be a great fit for the town.”

Jan Donohue said the company plans to make Aurora its home for decades to come.

“It took us 30 years to grow out of our Oregon City property, and it’s a fraction of the size. We’ll have a long way to go before we grow out of this property,” she said. “We’re planning to be there for a very long time.”
