Cold Storage Planning in Irmo
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 10 federally declared major disasters that included Lexington County, South Carolina.

2. Major construction
New plants, warehouses, schools, and road projects in and around Irmo can put kitchens, break rooms, and food service on temporary power and temporary schedules.

Picture a food distributor in Irmo that retrofits a dock. Refrigerated containers could hold inbound loads so deliveries are not turned away. This is a scenario, not a past job.
