Good morning, Ross County. If the heat hasn't already hit you like opening an oven door, brace yourself — it's going to be a scorcher through Wednesday, and the county's cooling centers are open and ready to rescue you. On the brighter side, the Treasurer's office just bought property owners an extra month on second-half tax payments, pushing the deadline to August 21. And out on the roads, the "Building A Better Bridge" project is grinding away — smoother commutes are coming, just not quite yet.
Nationally, Ford's recalling over 740,000 vehicles and Bank of America is on a hiring spree — both worth a peek inside. Locally, Tecumseh! is back under the stars tonight, Creative Aging Art kicks off tomorrow, and fresh listings are waiting if you're in house-hunting mode.
