The Poland Corporation

About The Poland Corporation

February in the western Maine foothills is a cold that squeaks underfoot, and the snow coming up the Route 26 corridor is dry and seemingly endless. The Poland Corporation plows through it — driveways and lots opened early, entrances widened so a truck can swing in, banks pushed well back while there is still room to push them. Walks get scraped clean, and sand goes down on the pitch where a hill road meets a dooryard. Storms in this country tend to run long, so the work is a series of returns rather than one visit. A cleared drive on a morning when the thermometer never left the single digits pays back every hour of the night.
