What recent events and projects mean for food service in Big Stone Gap
Past emergency
February 2025 flooding and shelters
In February 2025, Wise County declared a local state of emergency for heavy rain and flash flooding, the sheriff named Big Stone Gap and Norton as the most affected areas, and shelters opened at Carnes Gym in Big Stone Gap and other sites. Shelters need hot meals on a schedule, and an emergency kitchen trailer can supply them when a building kitchen is out.Major construction
Sunrise Village water extension
Big Stone Gap is receiving a federal grant of more than $300,000 for its Sunrise Village Water Extension Project. Water line construction can interrupt service to nearby kitchens, so facilities can schedule a self-contained kitchen trailer around the work.Major renovation
Healthcare simulation lab at Mountain Empire
Mountain Empire Community College sought bids in 2026 to relocate and expand its healthcare simulation facilities. Campus renovations bring crews and phased moves, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve crews or campus events during the work.Emergency equipment access

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Big Stone Gap
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Big Stone Gap'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
Big Stone Gap's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4863 (severe winter storms and flooding, declared April 4, 2025). If a repeat left a restaurant kitchen on the main street there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Before dispatch we would look at active work such as VDOT's "New Sidewalk SW Va Museum/Slemp Library; To Bullitt Park" (awarded), confirm any lane closures, and choose an approach a tractor-trailer can make. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
