LAS VEGAS -- The Las Vegas City Council has approved an agreement that will give the Cleveland Clinic time to plan a possible medical center or research facility in downtown Las Vegas.
Earlier this year the Ohio-based nonprofit agreed to staff and run what's now called the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. The clinic may now consider what it could build on parcels adjacent to the brain health center. The deal has the city donating two of four parcels being considered as an incentive for the clinic. The four parcels total about 12 acres.
Under the agreement the other two parcels could be sold or also donated. The deal approved by the council on Wednesday calls for the clinic to present a development plan by the end of January.
