As part of his 99-county tour, Governor Terry Branstad will be visiting Greene County next week.

Branstad is scheduled to tour Power Lift, Conner Athletic Products, Incorporated on Wednesday, February 18th from 2-3pm.

Power Lift started in 1999 as a manufacturer of Olympic lifting platforms for facilities.  The company is now one of the leaders in high-quality weightlifting equipment.

General Manager Chris Conner says this is a great chance to show the governor what their company is all about.

“It’s a neat opportunity to have him (Branstad) here and for us to be able to show him our story and tell him our story of what Power Lift does and who we deliver to on a daily basis.  It’s a neat moment to have him be apart of that and see that process.”

A list of some of the major clients of Power Lift’s includes:  United States Military Special Forces, most of the teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball teams, National Basketball Association teams, National Hockey League teams, NASCAR drivers, most major Division I college football teams including this year’s final four teams and several other colleges and high schools.  They also ship to international countries in Asia and the United Kingdom.

Power Lift has 45 employees at its Jefferson location at 900 East Highway 30.
