What public records show for food service in Colon
Past emergency
FEMA's 2004 declaration for St. Joseph County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-1527, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on June 30, 2004 for St. Joseph County, which includes Colon, for an incident that began May 20, 2004. It is one of 2 major disaster declarations covering St. Joseph County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Colon stays closed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Colon
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for St. Joseph County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Colon cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Colon
A kitchen renovation in Colon 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 Colon
Michigan is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Joseph County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Michigan are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Colon would travel I-75 and local routes, as it would for nearby Sherwood and Mendon. 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 Colon
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Colon'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
A 3-month project at an assisted living community's kitchen in Colon, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-75 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, 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 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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 $20,670 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
