 Minneapolis,
August 6, 2007 – Polaris Industries today announced
the company is working with Minnesota Dealer, Digger’s Polaris
& Marine, to provide Sportsman ATVs and RANGER side by side
vehicles to help with the recovery efforts of the Interstate 35W
bridge disaster.
“As a Minnesota company, we share in the sorrow this tragedy
has left on our state,” said Polaris President and Chief
Operating Officer Bennett Morgan. “It’s our hope that
the units provided make this very difficult effort a bit easier
for all involved.”
Prior Lake’s Digger’s Polaris will provide six Sportsman
500 ATVs and six Polaris RANGER 4x4s to the Minneapolis Police
Department and OSHA immediately to aid in the effort. Polaris
vehicles also were used in the recovery and clean up efforts of
Hurricane Katrina, at Ground Zero and during various Minnesota
flood relief efforts.
“When our dealership was contacted to provide ATVs and
Side by Side vehicles for the recovery effort, there was no doubt
in my mind we would make it happen,” said Doug Nagle, owner
of Digger’s Polaris & Marine. “This tragedy has
hit very close to home and providing these units is our way to
help with the effort.”
Information about the complete line of Polaris products, apparel
and vehicle accessories is available from authorized Polaris dealers
or anytime from the Polaris homepage at www.polarisindustries.com.
