What public records show for food service in Lexington
Past emergency
FEMA's 2011 declaration for McLean County
FEMA has made 3 major disaster declarations for McLean County since 2000; the latest, DR-1960, severe winter storm and snowstorm, was declared on March 17, 2011 after an incident that began January 31, 2011, and it covered Lexington. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Lexington stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Lexington
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Severe storm damage to Corn Belt Energy Cooperation2023" (utilities, about $112,000) in McLean County after DR-4728, a severe storm declared August 15, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Lexington, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Lexington that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Lexington
A kitchen renovation in Lexington usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Lexington
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, McLean County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Illinois are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Lexington would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Chenoa and Cooksville. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Lexington
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lexington's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose an assisted living community's kitchen in Lexington schedules a 4-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-55 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen trailer takes about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
