OHIO NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online State chooses downtown Cleveland site for hospital July 03, 2009 5:03 PM CLEVELAND The state has chosen downtown Cleveland over the suburbs for a new $84 million psychiatric hospital. The Ohio Department of Mental Health says the regional psychiatric hospital will serve patients now receiving treatment at two older facilities in Cleveland and suburban Northfield. The state will pay $2.1 million for 14 acres that are ready for construction, which is expected to take four years. The state chose the downtown site over state-owned property in suburban Highland Hills. The new facility will have about 300 beds and employ about 500 people. Supporters say the announcement is a boon to downtown Cleveland and also helps local patients receiving state psychiatric services, many of whom live in Cleveland.
