Why are you here today? Just support for Trinity Lumber and their success here in getting their Mill back up.
On September 12th, 2009, The Trinity Saw Mill suffered a devastating fire... This is their success story.
Trinity Mill has had a successful two-shift operation until that eventful day of September 12th of 2009, when we lost the mill due to the fire. With the help of The Greenspan Company, we began to settle with the insurance company. I want to thank Greenspan for their work with dealing with the insurance companies and settlements.
By the time we got on scene, the damage was already done and we came in to pick up the pieces and help guide them through the process of filing a claim. You know, negotiating with the insurance company and bringing them up to speed on what is required.
The saw mill was started in approximately 1800 after the California gold rush in the area. The Trinity River Saw Mill is the staple of Weaverille. Without the Trinity River Saw Mill, the likelihood of Weaverville continuing is extremely doubtful. The coverage issues included not only the issue involving the per occurrence liability in relationship to the statement of values, but also the protective safeguard in the endorsement.
How important is the mill to this community? It's extremely important to Weaverville, it's extremely important to all the communities around it too.
The locals are pretty excited; it helps give more business around here for most stores I've been going to, so they say, so I think it's pretty important.
With every client that we work for, I'm proud to say that there is a connection and there is a friendship forever.
