Without funding from the Legislature, 48-bed Mount Vista-area mental health facility won’t open A nearly completed residential mental health treatment facility in the Mount Vista area that was slated to open in the fall will stand largely empty after the state Legislature did not budget funding to operate it.

Construction is almost complete on the residential mental health treatment facility in #Clarkwa. But, the Legislature didn't allocate the $78M needed to operate the facility. So it won't open when when construction is complete.

Photo shows several maintenance crew members who are wearing bright orange safety jackets and hard hats, while working to repair guardrail along the highway.

🚧 Heads up, Clark County travelers!

Today, 5/1, from 8AM to 3PM the left lane of NB I-5 near La Center (MP 16.5) will be closed for guardrail repairs.

Guardrails help keep everyone safe.

Expect delays, slow down in the work zone & stay focused.
