City Issues $2.9 Million Charles Pointe Crossing Site Work Permit for Mon Harrison Neighborhood Hospital
By Jeff Toquinto on June 21, 2024
In April, Mon Health President and CEO David Goldberg and Executive Vice President of Vandalia Health told Connect-Bridgeport he anticipated ground to be broken for the new Mon Harrison Neighborhood Hospital in Bridgeport in the months ahead.
Although construction is not starting, earth is being moved, according to Bridgeport Community Development Director Andrea Kerr. She 
recently confirmed that a site and infrastructure development permit for the Mon General facility has been acquired.

The permit, Kerr said, was for $2.9 million to do the earth work to prepare the site for the future $22.5 million project at Charles Pointe Crossing. Bridgeport City Engineer Beth Fox confirmed that plans for the site development have been approved.
“This will get the site ready and I know they’re going to extend the utilities, the roadway, and storm drains through the area and grade the earth down the footprint of the area where the building will go,” said Fox. “This is an extension on Haden Boulevard.”
The building, which will be 20,000 square feet, will feature 24/7 emergency care, board certified physicians, comprehensive inpatient care, pharmacy services, and inpatient and outpatient radiology services such as CT scans, ultrasounds, MRI, echoes, x-rays and more.
“We’re bringing a full array of medical capabilities to Mon Harrison,” said Goldberg in April.
There will also be 10 private rooms and eight emergency bays or rooms. The building will have a hospital on one side and an emergency department on the other. There will be three entrances with a lobby entrance for the hospital, a lobby entrance for the emergency room, and an EMS entrance.
Laurita Excavating is handling the project. They are out of Maidsville, which is Monongalia County and just a few miles north of Morgantown.
“A project at that price encompasses more than dirt moving. There will be a substantial amount of earth work, but the utility additions and relocations that may be needed and the storm water management add to it,” said Fox. “This is a sign of significant development.”
Fox said Laurita has done plenty of site work in West Virginia and neighboring states. She said they are a highly reputable contractor. She also said she is happy to see this work moving ahead.
“We love seeing this development at Charles Pointe,” said Fox. “We know what quality development brings to the community and the entire region.”
