Mr. Louis Goossen (Goossen Construction, Inc.) has been involved in the building business since 1947. Personally, he began as an electrician, wiring houses and barns as the Rural Electrification Association (REA) swept across the Midwest.
During the years of 1949 through the 1970s, in addition to being a Surge dairy equipment dealer, the company also began to build facilities for dairy and hog operations. It was during this time period that son Marvin officially joined the firm and has remained a very important part of the operation.
Beginning in the early 1980s, the company became heavily involved in the designing and manufacturing of golf course maintenance equipment. The equipment was distributed throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, and Canada. During this time period, the company had two divisions, a construction division and a manufacturing division. The construction division's main focus was directed toward the farm and industrial area of the building trade.
In 1997 the company turned its energy toward development of some property in the southeast quadrant of Beatrice that would become the Flowing Springs Development as an appealing, comfortable place to live.
