📰 News we're reading
• Wadsworth downtown construction to avoid holiday season (cleveland.com) — Downtown Wadsworth’s big infrastructure overhaul is slated to start in mid-July, with officials promising to keep the main intersection open during the crucial holiday shopping season. Stormwater work will begin near South Pardee and Mill Street, then move north, meaning residents and businesses should expect shifting lane changes, limited parking, and ongoing construction well into fall. 
• A Chick-fil-A could be coming to Wadsworth (cleveland.com) — A proposed Chick-fil-A on High Street in Wadsworth could bring a new dining option along with major changes to traffic and sidewalks near Sheetz and the former Legacy Inn site. City planners are weighing drive-thru congestion, potential turn lanes, and pedestrian access ahead of a June 8 public hearing on the 5,200-square-foot restaurant plan.
• ‘Disturbing': Wadsworth man accused of luring 10-year-old Canadian girl (fox8.com) — A Wadsworth resident has been arrested after Canadian authorities and U.S. Homeland Security investigators linked him to alleged online exploitation of a 10-year-old girl in Manitoba. Officials say the man was taken into custody at his Wadsworth property in February, faces multiple federal child-exploitation charges, and investigators believe there may be additional victims.
