Good morning, Geauga County. Motorcycle engines will roar with purpose on August 17 as Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Chapter 12-7 honors fallen Fire Chief Mike Warner with a memorial ride. Starting at Chardon VFW Post 6519, this moving tribute will establish a legacy scholarship in Warner's name, creating a lasting impact that extends beyond the meaningful stops at Concord Township Fire Station and Hambden Cemetery.
While the county's historic 1869 courthouse continues its transformation with commissioners approving another $950,590 payment toward the $20.1 million expansion project, Lyndhurst's Legacy Village faced troubles of a different kind. Police responded to reports of violence in the shopping center's parking lot, part of a series of disturbances including incidents at nearby businesses. The courthouse renovation, now 60% complete, remains on track for substantial completion by October 10.
