Before you build: what Corning looks like from a business owner’s chair

Mining, oil and gas account for 2.6% of the employer establishments in Perry County, far more than the national share. Crews from out of town look for services from a phone, on short notice. Say clearly which areas and job sites you serve, what equipment you run and how to request work.
