Electrician Stan Kramer spent the better part of 2009 unemployed. In March 2010, he received a call from Arlington Electric that he was needed for electrical work at the accelerator test facility at Fermilab, paid for with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Companies from Batavia, Aurora, St. Charles, Naperville, Elmhurst, Elk Grove Village, Wheeling and other locations are working on the project as subcontractors for Michigan-based Barton Malow Inc.
