Grant County Thanks Our Snowplow Heroes!

Today, December 2, 2024, we honor the incredible dedication of our snowplow drivers, who work tirelessly to help keep 2,128 miles of state, county, and local roadways clear and safe each winter, even in the harshest weather. These unsung heroes sacrifice time with their families to ensure we can get to work, school, medical appointments, and beyond.

Let’s show gratitude by driving cautiously, slowing down, and giving them the necessary space to do their vital work. Together, we can stay safe this winter. Thank you, snowplow drivers, for keeping our community moving!

#WinterHeroes#thankyousnowplowdrivers#saferoads

Proud to have been a part of Operation Greenlight in support of Iowa and Grant County Veterans and their families!
