On the two freezing days after Christmas, business members and Mohawk Valley Stewardship Council (MVSC) volunteers began construction of the new bath house at the White Sulphur Springs Ranch site (WSSR) in Clio. The bath house is part of an overall restoration effort at WSSR and a major component of the planned community ADA swimming facility that will accommodate all users, including children and the disabled.
Businesses from Redding, Reno, Quincy and Clio all contributed the necessary building materials and labor to raise the new bath house. General contractor, Taylor Carr, owner of Artifex Homes in Clio donated the construction crew. Dave Little with Sierra Pacific Industries in Quincy donated the framing lumber and their Redding Division provided the windows. Andrew Cross, general manager of the Truckee-Tahoe Lumber Company in Truckee donated all the paneling, roof sheathing and hardware.
The MVSC depends on the generosity of community businesses and individuals to achieve the goal of renovation of the historic Mohawk Valley site. Businesses as far away as Reno also helped. Western Nevada Supply, Reno Truss, DHC Supplies and Titan Construction Supply were all major contributors. The complete list of companies that contributed to the project are listed below.
Things are happening that locals and visitors alike can see from Highway 89 in the Mohawk Valley. If you are already a member, Thank you. If you are interested in becoming a member of the MVSC, select one of the green buttons to the right.

It is important to acknowledge the contractors who have donated their services or provided services at a much reduced cost to help us accomplish work this season. It is equally important to acknowledge the many volunteers who have worked tirelessly to help prepare for each phase of the project.
Many of these volunteers are retired but have donated their time and equipment and personally paid for thousands of dollars in materials to help us achieve our goals this season.

Thanks to Everyone for Your Help
