This from John Tulipano:

Fox River and Countryside has moved station 3 into a brand new facility at 6N330 Route 25 in St Charles.

I have attached a few photos taken back in January. I drove by recently and the new station is occupied (but not totally completed) and the old station is closed.

Here is the link for the ground breaking. Here is a link stating that they moved in February 27, 2014.
