An Arlee man has donated $50,000 to build a new medical clinic in Hot Springs.
Marvin Rehbein, 75, decided to help after reading a newspaper story about how Hot Springs residents had hauled 70,000 pounds of metal to raise money for the clinic.
Nearly $200,000 is needed by the end of February to secure $450,000 from a Community Development Block grant.
Rehbein has lived in Sanders County since 1973. He founded SK Construction and Riverside Construction in Missoula.
He says he saw the need for a new medical clinic and recognizes that such projects make a big difference in small towns.
He says he hopes his donation will inspire others and help the town complete its fundraising goal.
