Before their new ClearSpan structure was erected, Shawnee Public Works used smaller structures located throughout the county, but had limited storage capacity in each of those smaller structures. Tom Flanagan, director of the Shawnee County Public Works Department, chose to construct one large 54-ft. wide by 100-ft. long ClearSpan fabric structure capable of storing approximately 2,000 tons of road salt. ClearSpan used this site as the central distribution point for Shawnee County Public Works.
The Shawnee County Public Works is excited to use their building for the upcoming winter, said Flanagan, “We’re very satisfied with our new ClearSpan building, as it gave us the ability to centralize our salt operation for this impending winter.”
