Brown County · Wisconsin
Snow and ice management for Howard's retail corridors, business parks, and industrial properties — Brown County's fastest-growing community.
Howard has been the fastest-growing community in Brown County for years — now past 21,000 residents and third largest in the county behind Green Bay and De Pere. That growth shows up as commercial development: big-box retail along Shawano Avenue, the Village Square development on Cardinal Lane, and the Velp Avenue corridor running the length of the village.
Newer commercial development means large, open lots with long drive aisles and heavy customer turnover — properties where snow has to be cleared fast and completely, not pushed to the edge and forgotten.
Howard also sits on Highway 41, Highway 29, and I-43, with rail access and Austin Straubel five miles out. That's why the industrial and logistics footprint keeps expanding here, and those are sites where a closed entrance costs real money by the hour.
What We Handle
Full-service winter management — one team for plowing, walks, salt, brine, and hauling.
Parking lots, drive aisles, access roads, and loading docks cleared and kept open.
Calibrated salt and treated blends applied where and when the temperature calls for it.
Walks, entrances, and ADA ramps cleared by hand and walk-behind equipment.
Liquid brine applied before the storm so snow and ice never bond to pavement.
Piles relocated or hauled off site when stacking space runs out mid-season.
A written winter plan with triggers, priority zones, and crews assigned before the season.
Local Coverage
The retail corridors, the business parks, and the industrial sites along the highway corridors.
Know the Rules
What Howard RequiresUnder Section 32-122 of the Village of Howard Municipal Code, the owner or occupant of property adjacent to a public sidewalk is responsible for removing snow and ice, generally within 24 hours after a snowfall. The village investigates on complaint and, if the property is in violation, clears the walk at the owner's expense.
Howard also runs a general overnight on-street parking ban from 2:00am to 6:00am, November 1 through April 1, so village crews can plow — and can declare a Snow Emergency that triggers additional parking restrictions when conditions warrant. For commercial properties, that shapes the timing: village street plowing and your lot clearing need to line up, or your entrances get bermed shut right after they're cleared. We schedule around it.
