MACO Construction, Inc., founded in 1963 by L.W. Maddox, is a leading provider of affordable housing solutions, primarily focusing on FmHA-financed senior citizen homes. Initially established to address the housing needs of seniors, the company has expanded its reach significantly over the decades. Under the leadership of Lew's son, Ken Maddox, who joined in 1975, MACO ventured into multi-family housing, serving lower-income, rural populations through various programs like the FmHA 515 multi-family initiative.
In 1977, MACO Construction also established a sister management company to enhance the efficiency of managing their developments, which has proven essential as their scope broadened. The current president, Jason Maddox, took over in 2014 and has utilized his extensive experience in property management and development to ensure the company remains at the forefront of affordable housing construction.
Today, MACO Construction operates in multiple states including Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois, among others. The company adheres to various federal and state guidelines, such as Section 42 and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, to maintain high standards in their projects. With a robust portfolio of over 200 multi-family developments, MACO continues to excel in both new construction and renovation projects, where they restore aging units to meet modern standards while preserving affordability.
The firm prides itself on its ability to coordinate localized subcontractors effectively, which keeps costs manageable and projects moving smoothly. Their thorough understanding of compliance measures ensures that they complete contracts within required timelines while achieving the quality and efficiency stakeholders expect. MACO Construction remains committed to building quality living environments that cater to the needs of low-income populations across the Midwest.
