​

Good morning, Dev Test County. May 1st is circling on calendars across Ohio like a digital deadline nobody wants to miss—that's when the new hands-free driving law kicks in, turning every dashboard into a potential mount-your-phone-now reminder. Harrison's already sounding the alarm for residents who've grown perhaps too comfortable with their steering-wheel scrolling habits.

Meanwhile, the Harrison Fire Department is beefing up its roster with promotions and fresh recruits, a timely move as the community continues its growth spurt. And over in Solon, the council's gearing up for a June 20th public hearing on economic development—because nothing says "we value your input" quite like inviting residents to weigh in on the business initiatives shaping their backyard.
