The city of Mentor has partnered with the Lake County Council on Aging to create and test a pilot emergency snowplowing assistance program. Operation Snowlift is designed to support low-to-moderate-income Mentor seniors who meet specific criteria and may struggle to afford per-push snow removal services. The pilot program will launch for the 2025-2026 winter season, providing up to 74 qualifying households with vouchers redeemable through a partner contractor for snow removal services during snow emergencies. The goal is to expand the program in the 2026-2027 winter season.
The Lake County Council on Aging has published the Request for Proposal (RFP) application for bidding contractors for the “Operation Snow Lift for Mentor Seniors” program.

Additional information on the program will be published soon.
