Mayo Clinic, based in Rochester, Minn., will launch $600 million in capital projects this year, including a new emergency department and clinic expansion project at Mayo Clinic Health System-Northland in Barron. Construction on the $9.3 million project - a portion of which had to be redesigned because of higher-than-expected groundwater and weathered bedrock - began last year and is expected to be completed later this year. During a recent press conference, Shirley Weis, vice president and chief administrative officer, estimated Mayo Clinic would spend $700 million per year on capital projects for the next five years.
