Our Building & Grounds Department is shown removing our three flag poles and sod from the area where the new pool will be constructed. It is our understanding that frost laws will be removed sometime next week so things will really start happening. Everyone is very excited to get going – Robert Neeb, General Manager

Bid packages are now available at FED Corporation, Gladwin, MI for our project construction. All bids are required to be turned in to FED no later than April 6th.
In other developments; the Gladwin County Zoning Department requested that the parcel that the Hearth Restaurant, new construction area, and the Pro Shop sit on, be rezoned from D-1 to B-1 prior to their approving our construction plans. The Association has submitted all paperwork necessary and final approval is expected April 6, 2011.
We hope to begin construction shortly after that date, however local load restrictions will, to a large extent, determine our start date.
Subject: Sugar Springs Awards Pool Contract to B & B Pools of Livonia, MI.
Today, Sugar Springs General Manager, Robert Neeb, announced that the first major contract for their new year-round swimming pool was awarded to B & B Pools of Livonia, MI. B & B was selected after in-depth consideration of six different pool contractors from around the state, by FED Corporation of Gladwin and the Sugar Springs team.
The new pool will use the latest technology for water purity and safety. A saltwater and UV purification system will be used to virtually eliminate the need to add chlorine or bromine to the pool, which is known to cause skin and respiratory problems. Handicap access will be provided via a chair lift at the side of the pool near the entrance steps.

Mid-Michigan Recreational Community Commits $ 2.6 Million To Enhancement Projects
Gladwin, MI - November 16, 2010 - Sugar Springs Property Owners Association is a four-season recreational community located in rural Gladwin County. Currently there are some 1,450 homes and cottages, along with 300 seasonal camping lots, nestled among two all-sport lakes, a championship golf course, public airstrip, and campground.
The focal point of the community’s social life is a building which houses a restaurant and an Olympic-size swimming pool, both open to the public. Since the building is almost forty years old, the Sugar Springs Property Owners Association membership has recently voted to update and enhance the facility.
It’s estimated that the renovations will cost $ 2.6 million. Work will be performed in two phases, starting in March of 2011. First, a new pool will be constructed in a new building attached to the existing structure. The old pool area will then be transformed into a 4,800 square-foot activity center along with a 1,000 square-foot fitness room. The entire building exterior will also receive a facelift.
Phase 2 plans include the enlargement and modernization of the restaurant and bar/lounge areas.
FED Corporation of Gladwin, MI has been named construction manager for this project.
Sugar Springs was established in 1972 and has grown into the premier recreational community in mid-Michigan. The Association has close to 2,900 members, covers 6 1/2 square miles, with two all-sport lakes of 1,000 acres, and is located approximately 12 miles north of Gladwin, MI. It is serviced by 32 miles of paved roadways and a sanitary sewer system.
Members choose between full time living, part-time cottages and retreats or can purchase a lot and camp on it each season.
With the two all-sport lakes, a full slate of member activities, tennis courts, over 40 acre area with hiking trails, and 18 hole championship golf course, Sugar Springs has something to offer everyone.
Sugar Springs is a short drive from just about anywhere in Michigan, nestled between Gladwin and West Branch, with easy access to I-75 and M-30.
