Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the all R friends community group to our facility. They visited to personally thank our Snow Fighters for their hard work this winter, helping keep the traveling public safe. The group presented a beautiful thank-you banner and spent time touring our facility and learning more about what we do each day. It was a meaningful visit and a great reminder of the impact our team has on the community we serve. Thank you, All R Friends, for your kindness and for taking the time to recognize our Snow Fighters. We truly appreciate it!

Incorporating native vegetation along roadways, in drainage areas, and around infrastructure helps create more sustainable and resilient communities across Franklin County.
