Paint the Plow Winners

The Butler County Engineer's Office (BCEO), in partnership with the Butler County Storm Water District, and the Butler Soil & Water Conservation District, proudly announces the successful completion of their inaugural Paint the Plow contest. The new community outreach initiative was created to promote public awareness of winter driving safety while engaging local high school students in a fun and creative way.

Student from New Miami High School and Madison High School designed and painted snowplow blades with colorful, safety-focused artwork. These plows will be put to work this winter, clearing snow throughout their local communities. Residents may spot the students' artwork ono county roadways as a reminder to drive carefully and respectfully share the road with snowplows during winter weather.
