A Skid Steer, A Snow Blower and Safer Sidewalks in a Small Iowa Town

Located in southwestern Iowa, the town of Corning in Adams County is known for its historic architecture and rural landscapes. A strong sense of civic pride can be seen throughout the community, population 1,564.

Small town charm, however, was not enough to serve the pressing need for more efficient snowfall and road debris removal in a town with limited public funds available. What the town needed was modern machinery to perform essential public works.

Corning mayor Jan Leonard noted the importance of maintenance activities for public streets and sidewalks.
