Delayed Mentor Hospital Project to Begin-Cleveland Clinic agrees to PLA

Plans to build a new hospital in Lake County under a Project Labor Agreement are back on the table following a one-year pause due to COVID-19, creating hundreds of jobs for area union trades.

In late April, the City of Mentor announced the Cleveland Clinic will break ground later this year on the new hospital project.

The new construction will provide work for 300 to 400 affiliated members of the Cleveland Building Trades, according to Dave Wondolowski, Cleveland Building and Construction Trades Council Executive Secretary
