Mentor experienced several significant developments in 2020, some of which werenât even related to the coronavirus.
City Council President Bruce Landeg listed among the highlights passage of the Lagoons charter change at the polls. Marina improvements may now proceed without waiting for â and relying on â a referendum vote by residents.
âVolunteers spearheaded a grassroots and web-page campaign,â he said. âThe residents strong affirmation of more than 73 percent voter support for this change was a big accomplishment after several previous efforts.â

Voters also overwhelmingly approved a boardwalk project improving access to the Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve.
But many noteworthy achievements were related to rebounding in the face of the pandemic, Landeg said.
