Today's riddle: What is the longest word in the dictionary? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Planning commission approves new Cleveland Clinic outpatient facility (scriptype.com) — Brecksville's planning commission has approved a much larger Cleveland Clinic outpatient center at Valor Acres, bringing more than 100 new caregiver jobs and expanded specialty services by late 2027. The four-story facility will anchor the Miller Road and Innovation Parkway corner, alongside new fitness businesses and a planned police-fire safety station, despite some lingering concerns about reduced on-site parking.
2. CVCC to get school resource officer (scriptype.com) — Brecksville City Council has approved funding for a new school resource officer at Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, ensuring every Brecksville-Broadview Heights school now has a dedicated officer on campus. Council also ordered an independent traffic study for the Valor Acres area to double-check whether future development will require new signals, turn lanes, or restriping on Brecksville and Miller roads.
3. Cuyahoga Valley chapter celebrates 100 years of Native Sons and Daughters (scriptype.com) — A long-running Cuyahoga Valley Native Sons and Daughters chapter is helping Brecksville dads build memories with their kids through campouts, rocket launches, bowling nights, and even sleepovers on a battleship. The group, serving Brecksville, Broadview Heights and Independence, recently marked the program's 100th anniversary and is inviting new families to join for year-round bonding activities and service projects.
4. Vivek Ramaswamy Spent Nearly $700,000 Leasing Private Jets for Campaign Events (clevescene.com) — A recent report notes that Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy used a private jet for a May 21 campaign stop in Brecksville, highlighting how frequently he's flown short in-state legs instead of driving. The piece details nearly $700,000 in jet leasing costs, questions about self-dealing with his own company, and criticism from opponents who say the spending is out of touch with everyday Ohioans.
