What public records show for food service in Lexington-Fayette
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Landslides, And Mudslides (2024)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Fayette County, which includes Lexington-Fayette is DR-4782, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, landslides, and mudslides, declared May 22, 2024. Fayette County has had 9 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline.

Major construction
Public works repair in Fayette County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "University of Kentucky Robinson Forest - Road Damage Group 2" (roads and bridges, about $2.6 million) in Fayette County after DR-4663, a flood declared July 29, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Lexington-Fayette, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Fayette County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Williamson Building Furniture & Equipment" (buildings and equipment, about $500,000) in Fayette County after DR-4860, a other declared February 24, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Lexington-Fayette until the work is done.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Lexington-Fayette
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lexington-Fayette'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 a public high school cafeteria in Lexington-Fayette schedules a 4-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-64 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
