About LCU Properties Inc.

A commercial lot along the Route 251 corridor looks enormous at eleven at night with the snow coming down under the pole lights and nobody in it. LCU Properties Inc. treats that emptiness as the opportunity it is, running plows across the parking areas of Machesney Park while the storm is still building, then coming back to scrape it clean once the wind lays down. Entrances, loading approaches, sidewalks and the striped spaces nearest the door all get their own attention, with salt worked into the places that refreeze after midnight. Snow up here piles for months, so the piles go where they will melt off instead of flooding a lane in February. By opening, the surface is honest pavement and the day proceeds as though nothing happened.
